In a recent interview with the Getting Over Wrestling podcast, former WWE Champion Big E provided an update on a potential in-ring return, noting that he is not in the position to be cleared for a WWE in-ring return yet.

“We’re at two years and running since I broke my neck, I broke my neck, my C1 in two places, my C6 as well. I feel great, I have no issues with pain, no issues with discomfort, weakness, any of those things, my strength is great.

The only issues is my C1 is healing fibrously, which is great for normal day-to-day life, but it’s not turning into new bone, it’s not ossifying yet, and so, they’re not going to clear me until that happens.

It’s obviously a very important bone, so right now, that’s kind of the waiting game. I did go down to Cancun about a month ago for stem cells, so we’ll see if that changes anything, but yeah, right now I feel great, it’s just I’m not in a position to be cleared quite yet.”
