Big E Gives An Update On His WWE Return, 'I'm Trying To Make The Best Decision For Myself And My Health'

New York, 2 November - I believe it's almost time for Big E to make his WWE comeback following a significant injury that has kept him sidelined for over a year now.## After his move to SmackDown and reuniting with the New Day, the team began a feud with Sheamus and Ridge Holland. On the March 11th episode of SmackDown, Big E suffered a major injury when Holland accidentally performed a belly-to-belly suplex at ringside.## It was later revealed that he had a broken neck with fractures to his C1 and C6 vertebrae, but thankfully, there was no ligament or spinal cord damage. However, doctors advised him not to wrestle again, despite the absence of nerve damage or strength issues. ## During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Big E provided an update on his return. ## "Right now, there is really no timeline. I've been to a few different doctors who have looked over my scans. I don't have any issues, I feel great, but I broke my C1 in two different places, it's called a Jefferson fracture and because of the nature of the fracture, it takes longer to heal. Initially, they told me three months. ## I thought three months and I would be back to wrestling, but things ended up being more complex. There are chances I might take with a broken forearm or finger. An ACL (injury), I've had before. I started wrestling when I was 23, and at the time, I was like, 'If I die in the ring, doing what I love, so be it.' I'm 37 now and you see life differently and you have other things to think about." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
