Holland replied:

“Honestly I think I may have been the first to experience the new TKO version of “contract Negotiations” 56% paycut…. OUCH!”

In October 2025, Ridge Holland announced that World Wrestling Entertainment would not be renewing his contract upon expiration. However, Holland’s contract was terminated early in November after he expressed frustration with the situation, saying he felt “hung out to dry” by the company.

Sadly, the star’s run was marred by controversy. In 2022, Holland delivered a botched belly-to-belly suplex to Big E, who suffered a career-ending neck injury as a result.

The New Day Was Reportedly Asked To Take An Unbelievable WWE Pay Cut

Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are trending over their recent move to AEW. With that, circumstances surrounding their WWE exits have been put in the spotlight once again.

Not too long ago, Kofi told Ariel Helwani that World Wrestling Entertainment wanted The New Day to take more than a 50% pay cut. Podcast host Conrad Thompson (on Grilling JR) revealed what he had heard about the situation:

“More than 90 days ago, when we found out that New Day was no more in WWE – there was lots of rumor and innuendo at the time that they were taking a 50% pay cut. The rumor and innuendo that I’ve heard is it was actually a 75% pay cut. Some of that was confirmed on an interview with Ariel Helwani. Now, they didn’t say 75, but that’s the number I’ve heard bandied around. So, there’s your headline out of today’s episode.”

Another living legend, Sheamus, reportedly left the company over pay cut issues as well.
