In a recent interview with Busted Open Radio, former WWE Champion Big E discussed several topics, including the potential of an in-ring return.

“I wish I had more information for you, 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, 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. I’m trying to make the best decision for myself and my health moving forward, I don’t have any answers.”
