Big E provides WWE Universe with a huge update regarding his neck injury
Top WWE star Big E recently provided an update as he continues to rehabilitate his unfortunate neck injury.
On March 11th, 2022, the former WWE Champion was accidentally dropped on his head during a match on SmackDown against Ridge Holland. Leading him to suffer two broken vertebrae in his neck.
Despite the severity of the ailment, the 36-year-old star was able to provide some positive news about his injury during a recent appearance on the Out of Character podcast.
"For right now, I’m cleared to live a normal life and I do live a normal life. But, I’m not cleared to be taking off and hitting suicide spears and be to be taking back bumps. The nature of what we do is very physical, it involves your neck and your spine, and I’d like to keep that as in tact as possible. So we’re talking about March 2023 to see whats doing. We might also along the way, at the 6 and 9 month mark, look it again. But, the upside is that right now, I have no nerve issues, there’s no tingling, no weakness" H/T SEScoops
From the world title wins to standout singles match performances, the past few years have seen Big E become the major star that he and many fans always knew he could be.
