WWE announces Superstar injury update during Drew McIntyre's match

Ridge Holland was conspicuous by his absence on the latest episode of WWE SmackDown. As it turns out, he is currently recovering from an injury.

The feud between The New Day and The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Butch, and Holland) continues to boil over. Most recently, the former tag team champions introduced their new temporary teammate in the form of The Scottish Warrior. The trio then traded wins with Sheamus and his allies over the course of two weeks.

A qualifier for the Money in the Bank Ladder match between Sheamus and McIntyre opened this week's episode of SmackDown. In the middle of their match, it was then announced that The Brawling Brutes member, Ridge Holland, won't be making any appearances in the near future.

While Butch accompanied Sheamus to the ring for his match against Drew McIntyre, Holland was missing in action. It was then revealed that the superstar had been sidelined; according to Michael Cole, he was "on the mend" after a knee injury.

No additional updates have been made by WWE or Ridge Holland.

Meanwhile, the match between Sheamus and Drew McIntyre ended with both men brawling outside the ring and into the audience. The official called for the bell when the rivals hit each other with chairs, so the match ended without a decisive winner.
