The verdict is in.
And it's a sad one.
After being on the sidelines for the past couple of years with a broken neck, Big E. has been awaiting the news that would determine the rest of his future.
This week, he revealed what he was told.
“We did the year check-up and all that stuff looked great, but on the other side, I also talked to spine specialists, people who have worked on other people in the company and done their fusions and they said, ‘Hey, I would not wrestle again if I were you,’" he revealed. "For me, at 37, these are things that I think about. I think about quality of life."
Big E. continued, "When I started this job at 23 and probably had a bit of a death wish and was okay at dying in the ring, I would now like to not die in the ring. I would like to do other things with my life. I don’t really have a timeline right now. I’m just really grateful to not have any nerve pain. My strength is great. Legit no issues whatsoever. It’s something I want to be smart about and make the best decision for my life. I’d like to have a lot of healthy life ahead of me. I want to be smart about things. Unfortunately, right now, I have no answer. I feel great, but I have nothing."
