Speaking on HOT 97, Big E shared his conversation after the injury, and Ridge even sent him a little gift to make things right. Big E was cool with him and knew that things go awry in wrestling.

Yeah, we worked together before, and he's a good dude, so I didn't want him to feel bad. He actually sent me a box of meat rub. It's no hard feelings, things go awry in wrestling. It happens. He didn't mean it, we're cool, It's fine. Leave that man alone.
