Though he’s still not cleared to return to the ring, Big E is feeling blessed two years removed from suffering a broken neck.
The injury happened on the March 11, 2022 episode of SmackDown. During a tag team match, Big E landed on his head while taking an overhead belly-to-belly suplex on the floor. He fractured his C1 vertebrae and C6 vertebrae.
In a tweet on Saturday, Big E (Ettore Ewen) shared that he’s received the results of his two-year scans. His status is unchanged and it’s possible that he’ll never be cleared to wrestle again, but Big E says he’s blessed to be free of pain, happy, and otherwise healthy:
Hey, all! Two year neck scans are in. Things are unchanged. My C1 has healed fibrously but has not formed new bone. I’m not medically cleared and truthfully, I may never be cleared. But I am blessed to be free of pain, immensely happy and otherwise healthy. Life is good.
Big E has remained involved with WWE during his time out of action. He was a panelist on the pre-shows for WrestleMania 40 last weekend. He also appeared at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, reuniting with his New Day partners Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods to help induct Thunderbolt Patterson.
The 38-year-old Big E is a former WWE Champion, Tag Team Champion, Intercontinental Champion, and NXT Champion.
