Big E – ‘I Don’t Have A Return Timetable Yet’

On the latest edition of the “After the Bell” podcast, former WWE Champion Big E. revealed that while he is feeling great physically, he doesn’t have a timetable for his in-ring return just yet.

Big E. last competed on the March 11th, 2022, episode of Friday Night SmackDown where he and Kofi Kingston suffered a defeat at the hands of Ridge Holland & Sheamus.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On how he’s feeling physically: “I feel great. Unfortunately, I don’t have a timetable, but the great thing is, I feel 100 percent. I don’t even feel like somebody who broke their neck. My mobility is incredible, my strength is great, and I have no issues whatsoever. I wish I had some answers on returning to the ring — I got nothing, unfortunately.”

On not realizing he had suffered a broken neck at first: “I thought it was just a contusion, and didn’t realize my neck was broken at all. I thought I could get up and walk. Thankfully, people got to me before I could do that. [I’m] so thankful for the people in Birmingham, Dr. [Jeffrey] Dugas, who took great care of me. Even the people who texted and emailed me — fans, peers, loved ones.”

On the support he’s received since his injury: “I am grateful to everyone. I am so proud to be a part of this community and this industry.”
