Big E Opens Up On Doctor Telling Him He Narrowly Escaped ‘Stroke, Paralysis, Or Death’ After Broken Neck

As previously noted, Big E suffered a broken neck a few weeks ago on WWE SmackDown, and in an update, he revealed the “very sobering” details from his doctor in his first appointment following the injury.

Big E noted that because of the C1 fracture, his doctor explained that he had narrowly escaped a “stroke, paralysis, or death” due to the severity of the issue.

“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,” Big E wrote.

On behalf of 411, we continue to send our well wishes to Big E on a quick and full recovery.
