The former WWE Champion Big E recently 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 posted a video update
He replied back to a tweet from a fan and went on to post a video which showed him without his neck brace for the first time since the accident occurred in March. The 36-year-old even went as far as excitedly showcasing a number of movements with his neck, displaying that he is on the road to being mended. Big E stated that fans ‘don’t need to worry about him’ and the ‘he’s good’ as his recovery continues.
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.
