Big E discusses making a possible return to WWE in the future.
Early in 2022, Big E suffered a broken neck when Ridge Holland accidently dropped him on his head with a belly to belly suplex.
Since then, E has been on the shelf with his injury with little in the way of information on his timetable for an in ring return, with E indicating he may never return from the injury.
Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Big E was asked if there was any update on a possible return to the ring.
“I wish I had more information for you. Right now, there is really no timeline. I’ve been to a few different doctors who have looked over my scans. I don’t have any issues, I feel great, but I broke my C1 in two different places, it’s called a Jefferson fracture and because of the nature of the fracture, it takes longer to heal. Initially, they told me three months. I thought three months and I would be back to wrestling, but things ended up being more complex. There are chances I might take with a broken forearm or finger. An ACL (injury), I’ve had before. I started wrestling when I was 23, and at the time, I was like, ‘If I die in the ring, doing what I love, so be it.’ I’m 37 now and you see life differently and you have other things to think about. I’m trying to make the best decision for myself and my health moving forward. I don’t have any answers,”
Big E
We will have to wait and see if E will ever return to the ring but for now, it seems he is happy not wrestling for the time being.
