Ridge Holland returning to action on WWE SmackDown
Ridge Holland is returning to action for the first time since breaking his nose at Day 1.
WWE has announced that Holland & Sheamus will face Cesaro & Ricochet in a tag team match on tonight’s episode of SmackDown. It’s a rematch from the Day 1 pre-show, where Sheamus defeated Cesaro & Ricochet on his own after Holland was injured early on.
Holland’s nose was broken at Day 1 when Ricochet accidentally hit him in the face while doing an assisted 450 splash.
On last week’s SmackDown, Holland made his first appearance on WWE television since getting injured. He accompanied Sheamus for his match against Ricochet. Sheamus got the win with a Brogue Kick.
Tonight’s SmackDown is taking place at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri. It’s the go-home show for tomorrow’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
Here’s the updated lineup for tonight:
- Seth Rollins will deliver a message to Roman Reigns ahead of their Universal Championship match at the Royal Rumble
- The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Big E) vs. Happy Corbin & Madcap Moss
- Naomi vs. Sonya Deville
- Cesaro & Ricochet vs. Sheamus & Ridge Holland
