Big E says life is good.
Big E was previously injured on the March 11, 2022 episode of WWE SmackDown. He fractured his C1 and C6 vertebrae. He did not suffer any ligament or spinal cord damage, but he has not wrestled since. The former WWE Champion recently provided an update after he received stem cell treatment.
Speaking with Adrian Hernandez for Unlikely, Big E was asked whether he had a cut-off date for his potential return to the ring, when he would decide that he was content with not wrestling again.
“I don’t know if there’s necessarily a cut-off. I don’t want to say I have a date in mind or a time or any of those things. But I’m content in life right now, and I have been content in life since day one, honestly. I think instead of focusing on all the things that are lost, or the things I can’t do or not being in the ring anymore, I focus on the things that I do have, and I’m so blessed. I’m so fortunate. One, I’m not in pain, I move around well, I’m in the gym, I live a great life. You don’t have to pity me, you don’t have to feel bad for me at all. I got so many incredible things, and the nice thing is, although I’ve been out of the ring, I have so many other challenges and other things come my way that I’ve really enjoyed. I love being a part of these Countdown shows, we do pre-shows, we do post-shows, being able to be able to be here on a weekend like this and to take part, I’m so fortunate and so blessed to be 15 years in, under contract with WWE. I can’t believe how quickly it’s flown by. But I’m still here, and I’m still doing things that I love and enjoy. I get to see so many of my friends, so I’m blessed, I’m immensely blessed. I’m really thankful for all those things. I appreciate everyone who [has] checked in on me. I can’t believe, I thought after a year, people would have moved on and given up, but it’s like two-and-a-half years, and people are still asking, and I appreciate that. It means a lot, but life has been really, really good. I am blessed, I don’t live in any regret or any of those things. I’m very, very thankful," Big E said.
Big E previously explained what it would take for him to get cleared to return to the ring. Check out his comments here.
