Jinder Mahal (Raj Dhesi) Says WWE Does Have Financial Education Programs, Defends Ridge Holland

After announcing that his WWE contract would not be renewed in November, Ridge Holland expressed that he might not be able to pay his mortgage.

Fans online questioned how Holland, who had been with WWE since 2018, was facing such a financial burden to where a GoFundMe was set up for him.

Former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal (Raj Dhesi) defended Holland’s position.
