Former WWE world champion Big E is expected to make a full recovery after breaking two bones in his neck.
While speaking with ESPN, Big E (36-year-old Ettore Ewen) revealed that doctors have told him they expect he’ll make a complete recovery from the broken neck he sustained in March. Despite that, he’s still waiting to find out how long it will be until he’s able to return to the ring.
Big E tweeted earlier this month that—with his C1 vertebra not forming bone quite yet—the plan is for him to get more scans at the one-year mark and see how things are progressing. Big E said the great news is that he’s feeling “tremendous” and neck surgery is off the table as an option.
