Big E Reveals What Needs To Happen For Him To Be Cleared For WWE In-Ring Return

After suffering a severe neck injury in March 2022, Big E has been absent from all forms of in-ring activity, with the former WWE Champion’s in-ring career very much in doubt.

During a recent conversation with Chris Vannini on Getting Over, Big E outlined what it would take for him to be cleared to make an in-ring return:

“Now we're at two years and running since I broke my neck. I broke 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 issue is my C1 is healing fibrously, which is great for normal day-to-day life, but it's not turning into new bone and ossifying yet. They're not going to clear me until that happens. It's obviously a very important bone. Right now, that is the waiting game. I did go to Cancun about a month ago for stem cells. We'll see if that changes anything. Right now, I feel great, I'm just not in a position to be cleared quite yet," Big E said.

The New Day member had earlier stated he wants to make the ‘smart decision’ on his in-ring future.
