Big E is feeling good despite his slow recovery from the broken neck he received last year.
In early 2021 on an episode of SmackDown, Ridge Holland would attempt a belly to belly throw on Big E. E would land on his neck, suffering a broken neck in the process. Since then, E has slowly been recovering, with no return date in sight.
Speaking to Battle & Eli on Battleground, Big E provided an update on his condition and how he is feeling after his latest set of scans.
“It’s just a complicated fracture. I broke my C1 and C2 in two places, a Jefferson fracture is what it’s called. It just takes a little more time to heal. We just did the one year scans after WrestleMania, it was a little later because of WrestleMania. We need to sit down with the doctors at some point and figure out what the next step is. From my perspective, I feel great, I have no function issues, no pain issues, I’ve been in the gym since two weeks after I broke my neck. I’m feeling great. Obviously, your neck has to be in a certain condition to deal with the rigors of being in the ring on a nightly basis,”

It is unknown at this time when Big E will make his return to the ring, but it is good to hear that he is in high spirits even while remaining on the shelf.
