A BRADFORD district-born wrestler could be splitting up with his tag team partner after they appeared to fall out following a match.

Ridge Holland's, real name Luke Menzies who was born in Liversedge, attempt to interfere in his tag team partner Sheamus's singles match with Ricochet backfired as he lost on World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) Friday Night Smackdown TV show.

The defeat led to Sheamus react angrily to Holland and he pushed him in the ring last Friday.

This appears to sow the seeds for the break-up of their alliance, which started after Holland moved to Smackdown in October last year.

Holland's star is continuing to shine in the WWE after he was one of the 30 entrants in last month's men's Royal Rumble match.

The Liversedge-born star entered Saturday's battle royal match as entrant number five and lasted for just over 19 minutes.

 

Since joining Friday Night Smackdown in October, Menzies has teamed up with fellow wrestler Sheamus on the show. He has also beaten fellow superstar Cesaro in a high-profile match shown on TV earlier this month.

Menzies wears a flat cap to the ring, calls himself the Bother Causer and uses Northern Grit as a hashtag on social media.
