Big E on WWE in-ring return: ‘Right now, I have no answers’

Big E isn’t sure he’ll return to in-ring action.

The former WWE Champion took questions during a SummerSlam media press conference event (via Sportskeeda). When asked about his health, Big E said that some of the doctors who had worked on other neck fusions for WWE stars advised him that he shouldn’t wrestle again.

“We did the year checkup and all that stuff looked great. But on the other side, I talked to spine specialists, people who have worked on other people in the company and done their fusions and they said like hey, I would not wrestle again if I were you,” he said.

He further stated that there was no timetable for an in-ring return, and doesn’t have any answers.

“I don’t really have a timeline right now,” he said. I’m just really grateful to not have any nerve pain. My strength is great, legit no issues whatsoever. So it’s just something I want to be smart about and make the very best decision for my life, hopefully I’d like to have have a lot of healthy life ahead of me. Unfortunately, right now, I have no answers. I feel great, but yeah, I have nothing.”

Big E has been out of action since the March 11, 2022 episode of SmackDown where he took a belly-to-belly suplex from Ridge Holland, landing on his neck. He is in Detroit this weekend for SummerSlam media, as well as appearing at WWE’s tryouts.
