Big E shares honest feelings towards Ridge Holland following freak injury

Big E has revealed how he honestly feels about Ridge Holland after the latter injured him on SmackDown several months ago.

The former WWE Champion teamed up with Kofi Kingston to take on Sheamus and Holland in a tag team match on the March 11 episode of the blue brand. During the bout, Ridge gave Big E a belly-to-belly suplex on the floor, breaking the latter's neck in the process.

In a recent interview with ESPN, the New Day member said he harbors no hard feelings towards Ridge Holland, and he understands that risks and injuries are part of the business.

"I have no issue whatsoever with Ridge. He's reached out and said some very kind things. ... What we do is dangerous, and there are inherent dangers. And to that degree, we all kind of know what we sign up for, and it was unfortunate that it went down that way. But I'm not dead. I'm alive. I'm doing well," E said.

Update! My C1 isn’t ossifying (forming bone) quite yet. The current plan is to get more scans at the one year mark & see how it’s progressing. The great news is I feel tremendous & surgery is off the table.
