The next morning, Big E sent a message to the whole WWE Universe updating us about his injury. While he did inform us about the C1 and C6 injuries, there were no displacements or damage to the spinal cord.

Due to the sudden injury, WWE shifted its WrestleMania plans. While there were plans for a 6-Man Tag Team Match with The New Day facing off against Sheamus, Butch, and Ridge Holland, they converted it into a Tag Team bout. Whether the feud might have involved Big E and Sheamus in a grudge match. Or another Tag Team run for the trio. We will only know after E’s big return.
