Big E provides an update following his first doctor's appointment after suffering a broken neck.
Big E was recently injured on the March 11 episode of Friday Night SmackDown due to how he landed following a belly-to-belly overhead throw by Ridge Holland. In a later update, E revealed that he did not need any surgery, saying "C1 and C6 are indeed fractured, non-displacement though, which is a good thing. I don't have any damage to my spinal cord. No ligament damage and no surgery."
Now, he's providing a further update in which he says that following his first doctor's appointment, he has learned that he was fortunate enough to avoid serious long-term issues such as suffering a stroke, paralysis, or worse.
Had my first doctor’s appointment and learning (because of the C1 fracture) I narrowly escaped a stroke, paralysis or death is very sobering. Life feels even more precious and valuable now.
