The former WWE Champion Big E provided a major update on his neck. It was over three months back when The New Day member had suffered a broken neck and fractures to his C1 and C6 vertebrae on SmackDown following a botched belly-to-belly suplex performed by Ridge Holland outside the ring.
Big E says more scans are needed
In a post on Twitter, the former WWE Champion noted that his C1 isn’t forming bone just yet, but the current plan is to get more scans at the one-year mark (next year) from the day he suffered the injury. He also mentioned that doesn’t have to undergo surgery.
He wrote:
‘Update! My C1 isn’t ossifying (forming bone) quite yet. The current plan is to get more scans at the one year mark & see how it’s progressing. The great news is I feel tremendous & surgery is off the table.’

Big E had revealed that there were no spinal or ligament injuries, meaning the New Day member did not require surgery. He eventually returned home from hospital after a short stay at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital.
Big E had dropped the WWE title to Brock Lesnar in a ‘Fatal 5-Way’ Match at WWE Day 1 earlier this year, and was performing on ‘SmackDown’ up until the time of his accident. We will have to wait and see when he makes his return to the ring.
