After being suplexed on the floor, he fractured his C1 and C6 vertebrae. Since then, he has remained away from in-ring action and even announced his retirement. The former WWE Champion recently appeared for an interview on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet and revealed why he cannot return to the ring like Edge, Paige, and other stars who suffered neck injuries.

“All neck injuries are different, and that’s what I found as someone who is going through this, because my injury, my C6 is broken, but the primary concern, of course, is the C1. Because it is so high up in my neck, and because of the nature of it. So, is there a possibility that even if my C1 ossified, and it was forming new bone? I think just knowing that people who do this for a living. Some of the best spine specialists in the world have implored me to hang it up, or to consider hanging it up. I think that’s enough for me,” he said.

Then, he also shared a personal reason why an in-ring return is out of question. He mentioned that he is about to get married and cannot tell his wife that he wants to risk his health again.

“I’m engaged. I’m about to get married in a few months. I can’t fathom telling Kristen I’m gonna roll the dice with my health and my life again. I can’t do that to her. To finally get to this point where I found my partner, who I want to do the rest of my life with, someone I adore. We have so much fun together,” he added.

Big E opens up on losing WWE Championship

During the conversation, Big E also opened up on dropping the WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar. After his successful run as a tag team star, he received a singles push and cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase to win his first WWE Championship.

But after losing the Title, he was moved back into the tag team division with The New Day. Big E said he loves the group, but it was demoralizing for him to go back to being a tag team wrestler.

He said stars go through ups and downs, and he hoped to be back in the main event picture, but being thrust back in the tag team was “disheartening.”
