Big E has been out of action for a few months now due to a broken neck and he’s been receiving a lot of support from the wrestling community. Recently the former WWE Champion took to Twitter to say that his neck “isn’t healing optimally” and that he will be wearing a brace for another 4 to 6 weeks in hopes of avoiding a fusion.
“For those desirous of an update, my C1 apparently isn’t healing optimally. I’ll spend another 4-6 weeks in a brace in hopes that I can avoid a fusion. But don’t you fret! I’ve got a tremendous support system & what shall be shall be.”
