Two years after his scary neck injury,Ov Finance Big E is unsure if he will ever compete in the ring again.

The New Day member and former WWE Champion gave an update on his recovery from the a broken neck he suffered in 2022, and he still isn't cleared to compete.

"Two year neck scans are in," he posted on social media. "Things are unchanged. My C1 has healed fibrously but has not formed new bone. I’m not medically cleared and truthfully, I may never be cleared. But I am blessed to be free of pain, immensely happy and otherwise healthy. Life is good."

Big E suffered the injury on the March 11, 2022 episode of "SmackDown." In a tag team match with Kofi Kingston against Sheamus and Ridge Holland, Holland attempted an overhead belly-to-belly suplex on Big E, and he landed awkwardly on his head after the move. He was stretchered out of the arena and rushed to the hospital, where he underwent neck surgery. While he did fracture his vertebrae, he suffered no spinal cord damage.

Since then, the former University of Iowa defensive lineman has been part of several WWE appearances outside the ring, for promotional events and community outreach. He was part of the WrestleMania 40 coverage. Over the past two years, he has continuously said he wasn't sure if he would be cleared to wrestle again, and doctors have recommended he never get in the ring again.
