Big E has recently admitted that his WWE career could be over due to a horrifying injury he suffered in May 2022. On the March 11, 2022 episode of SmackDown, Big E was performing a suplex with Ridge Holland when things went wrong, resulting in a fracture in his C1 and C6 vertebrae. Fortunately, Big E was able to avoid any spinal cord or ligament damage.
During a media conference for SummerSlam week in Detroit, Big E revealed that after his one year check-up, doctors advised him not to wrestle again. He explained, "We did the year check-up and all that stuff looked great, but on the other side, I also talked to spine specialists, people who have worked on other people in the company and done their fusions and they said, ‘Hey, I would not wrestle again if I were you.'"
Big E acknowledged that he is now focused on his quality of life rather than risking his life in the ring. He added, "At 37, these are things that I think about. I think about quality of life. When I started this job at 23 and probably had a bit of a death wish and was okay at dying in the ring, I would now like to not die in the ring. I would like to do other things with my life."
Although Big E is determined to make the best decision for his own life, he currently has no answer as to whether fans will ever see him back in the ring. He noted, "It's something I want to be smart about and make the best decision for my life. I'd like to have a lot of healthy life ahead of me. I want to be smart about things. Unfortunately, right now, I have no answer. I feel great, but I have nothing."
Big E emphasizes that he does not blame Ridge Holland for the incident, and WWE star Sheamus has since defended Holland from the cruel backlash he received. Meanwhile, WWE SummerSlam 2023 is approaching and fans can look forward to matches from Logan Paul, Roman Reigns, and more.
