Big E will know more about his wrestling future after WrestleMania.
During an appearance on Busted Open Radio on Thursday, the former WWE Champion said he is having more scans done the first week of April and should know more about how his neck is healing then.
Big E said:
Right now, I still haven't gotten the one-year check-ups yet, we're actually going to do that when I get back home after WrestleMania. So, early April, during that first week, we'll get another set of scans.
Big E broke his C1 vertebrae in two places on the March 11, 2022 edition of SmackDown. While he was able to avoid surgery, he says the injury is not ossifying yet, which is necessary for a potential return to the ring.
Big E continued:
So, it's healing fibrously, meaning it's connected enough that I can walk around and no one's concerned that I'm going to be in any kind of pain or have any issues. But, it's just not ossifying yet, it's not turning completely into bone. And to deal with the rigors of bumping and doing what we do on a nightly basis, obviously, you want to make sure your C1 is completely ossified, that it's all bone, that it's in the best shape possible.
So, right now the plan is to get some more scans the first week of April, and have the doctors review them, and then make a decision from there.
Obviously, your C1 is a very important bone and I want to make the best decision healthwise for myself. It's one of those things you just don't want to rush. I've been in rehab right now for about nine months working on strength and range of motion and all of that stuff has been great.
Last August, Big E said that while he isn't cleared to wrestle, doctors aren't worried about him being able to live a normal life. He told the Out of Character podcast that he is "cleared to live a normal life but I’m not cleared to be taking off and hitting suicide spears and to be taking back bumps."
