WWE officials see Ridge Holland as a future WWE Champion
American journalist Dave Meltzer in his Wrestling Observer Newsletter had mentioned that officials in the WWE expect a lot from Ridge Holland and visualize him as a future WWE champion.
Holland, a former rugby player, was picked for the blue brand for Vince's promotion as part of the WWE Draft 2021 and has been a star performer ever since. An excerpt from Meltzer's report said:
"The company does have high hopes for Holland, who some in the company have tabbed as a future WWE Champion, as well as Theory, who is young and has a good look. I don't see it in Holland at this point, as he came across as a generic looking guy with generic moves who has a powerful looking body and is a legit athlete."
