A WWE star has shared an update on their injury status and their future plans as their time away from in-ring action has continued.
Big E is a beloved WWE star who has been out of in-ring action since suffering a broken neck on an episode of WWE SmackDown.
In an appearance on Busted Open Radio to discuss an incredible side project away from WWE, Big E opened up about his future status.
“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 may be out of in-ring action but during his time away from WWE he has served as Executive Producer on a new film project, ‘Bridges’.
