You never know when an unfortunate accident might happen and last year during the March 11, 2022 episode of Friday Night SmackDown former WWE Champion Big E broke his neck during a match on live TV. Big E has been on the road to recovery ever since, but it doesn’t sound like there’s a potential date lined up for a possible return.
Big E recently appeared on the After The Bell podcast with Corey Graves and he explained that while he feels like he’s at 100% he has no answers regarding when he could return to the ring.
“I feel great. Unfortunately, I don’t have a timetable. The great thing is, I feel 100%, I don’t even feel like someone who broke their neck. My mobility is incredible and great. My strength is great, I have no issues whatsoever. I wish I had some answers on returning to the ring. I have nothing, unfortunately, but the beautiful thing is I feel great, my body feels great, I’m really thankful for that. Life is good. I’m blessed. I can walk around and touch my toes, go to the gym, all those things. Really grateful.
“I want to say thank you to the EMTs who were there, very timely. I thought it was a contusion, I didn’t think my neck was broken at all. Thankfully, people got to me before I could do that. So thankful for the people in Birmingham, Dr. (Jeffrey) Dugas, who took great care of me. Everyone who was just there for me. People texting me, emailed me, all the people who checked in. Fans, peers, family, loved ones.”
Even though there’s no timetable for Big E’s return at least he seems to be feeling well which is a great sign considering the major injury he suffered. Stay tuned for updates.
