Big E has been out of action since March 2022 due to a broken neck sustained from an awkward landing after a suplex delivered by Ridge Holland.
On the December 2nd episode of WWE RAW, Big E was ousted from The New Day by Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, who criticized him for prioritizing his new life over them.
During a recent appearance on “The Mike Broomhead Show,” Big E set the record straight on his injury.
He said, “I broke my neck, two and a half years ago, in three places, including my C1 in two places. I still haven’t been cleared. Thankfully, I feel great and don’t have any issues, nothing like that. Didn’t need surgery. I was in a hard collar for three months. There are very real risks. We had a suplex that went wrong and I’ve been out since. I’m grateful to have no issues, no pain, nothing like that.”
Big E has been part of WWE Kickoff shows and is an ambassador for the Fiesta Bowl. It’s unknown if he will ever compete in the ring again.
