There has been a wave of rumors surrounding the former WWE Champion Big E ever since his appearance on RAW earlier this month. While many rumors claim that the 38-year-old is expected to make his in-ring return soon, there has been no confirmation on his status as of now. However, recently, the former New Day member dropped a massive bombshell on his return and neck injury.
Speaking on The Mike Broomhead Show, the former WWE Champion revealed that, while his neck is improving, he remains medically uncleared to compete. He shared that he has undergone numerous tests and scans over the past few months. However, Big E admitted that a significant risk factor persists, making a return to professional wrestling uncertain.
I still haven’t been cleared. Thankfully, I feel great. I don’t have any issues, nothing like that. Didn’t need surgery. But I was in a hard collar for three months.

The former Intercontinental Champion shared that he is content with his life, enjoying time with his family and friends. He added that if a return to the ring is in the cards, it will happen, but if not, he is happy with where he is.

Oh, she’s definitely not talking about us. E didn’t leave us; We actually sent him home. Also from what I heard, she can’t cook.
