Big E wants to make ‘smart decision’ on whether to resume WWE in-ring career

Former WWE Champion Big E said he wants to make a smart decision about whether to resume his wrestling career following a near-catastrophic injury in March of 2022.

He attended the “Love & WWE: Bianca & Montez” premiere this past Sunday following last Saturday’s Royal Rumble where I caught up with him on the red carpet.

Big E said he feels great and wants to continue to do so, listing off a litany of injuries he has sustained throughout his wrestling career including tearing both ACLs, his left pectoral muscle and his left meniscus.

That was before the broken neck and fractured C1 and C6 vertebrates he sustained on a belly-to-belly suplex gone wrong with Ridge Holland back in March 2022. This past August, Big E said doctors informed him that he may never wrestle again.

“…So when I think about the damage I have done to my body over the years, I just want to be smart, because this is the one body I get and I have to carry it throughout my 40s, 50s hopefully and beyond. So that’s the goal. I just want to make a smart decision and I am just so grateful to feel so good, to have no restrictions and I want to be smart with whatever decision I make.”

He has remained involved with several WWE projects and initiatives including open tryouts at various colleges in addition being an executive producer for the newly-released Bridges cartoon as part of Our Heroes Rock!
