Former WWE Champion Big E has provided an update on his neck injury following his important one-year scans.
Big E has been out of action since suffering a broken neck on the March 11, 2022 edition of SmackDown.
Throughout his recovery, Big E pointed to his April 2023 scans as important indicators for his future, one year on from the original injury.
Speaking on the Battleground podcast, Big E explained that he feels great and isn’t experiencing any function or pain issues.
Noting that he will soon speak with doctors about his next step, the popular star said:
“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.”
Big E previously shared his honest thoughts on his previous WWE Championship reign, which you can read more about right here.
