Being immensely strong doesn’t make a human being immortal. Therefore, even when Big E has the ability to lift massive weights, he’s still at the risk of fatal injury and worse, paralysis.
A while back, ‘The Powerhouse of Positivity’ suffered a neck injury, where he fractured C1 and C6. The fractures occurred after he landed on his neck when Ridge Holland executed a suplex on him.

Now, a C1 vertebrae fracture is closely related to paralysis and death. Even though he didn’t require surgery, he hasn’t been medically cleared. Reportedly, doctors have informed him that he closely avoided paralysis and death.
He took to social media to express his gratitude for life and for understanding how precious it is.
Had my first doctor’s appointment and learning (because of the C1 fracture) I narrowly escaped a stroke, paralysis or death is very sobering. Life feels even more precious and valuable now.

Considering neck injuries are a leading cause for pro-wrestlers to quit, Big E should take all the time he needs to heal his neck before making a comeback.
Big E may not be happy with his current WWE run
When E became champion, the whole WWE Universe rejoiced. In fact, WWE honored his championship by changing their official Twitter name. It was one of the biggest celebrations of recent times.
Unfortunately, that run didn’t last long as he lost his title to Brock Lesnar at Day 1 2022, and exited the championship picture.
