Big E Says He Has No Pain & Is Feeling Great One Year After Neck Injury

Big E had to overcome a lot of trials and hurdles before reaching the top of the mountain in WWE. Fans always supported Big E over the years and this was more evident after Big E suffered a career-ending neck injury last year. That being said, he is still away from in-ring action even now. Now it appears that Big E has no pain and is feeling great, one year after the neck injury.

On the March 11, 2022 episode of WWE SmackDown, fans were in for a huge shock when Big E was dumped on his head by Ridge Holland via a belly-to-belly suplex on the outside of the ring. Big E was said to have suffered a broken neck due to the bump, and that was what happened.

Big E then revealed that he would not be needing any surgery, despite the fact that he fractured his C1 vertebrae and C6 vertebrae. The former WWE Champion is doing a lot more traveling, among other things.

While speaking to Battle & Eli on Battleground, Big E provided an update on his condition. Big E revealed that he has no pain and is feeling great, one year after the neck injury. That said, he still isn’t sure about making a return to the squared circle.

“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 would also consider a non-wrestling role in WWE if he is forced to retire. We will have to wait and see whether Big E will somehow manage to make his return to the ring. If not, fans will always appreciate him for all he did in the business.
