Big E suffered a broken neck at Friday’s WWE SmackDown. He posted the following video from a hospital bed:
Big E took two hard bumps on SmackDown and one resulted in him being stretchered out of the arena.
The former WWE Champion worked a tag team match alongside Kofi Kingston against Ridge Holland and Sheamus. At one point, he fell hard outside of the ring, but seemed to be okay. However, moments later, he landed right on his head during a belly-to-belly suplex from Holland.
Fans in attendance immediately knew something was wrong. Several began posting videos on social media showing Big E getting taken out on a stretcher.
In late 2020, WWE decided to push Big E as a singles star as they split him away from Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods in that year’s Draft. He would go on to have a run as the Intercontinental Champion and later won the Money in the Bank match back in July 2021. He would win the WWE Title from Bobby Lashley on an episode of Raw after cashing in the Money in the Bank contract. He held it for 110 days before losing it to Brock Lesnar at the Day 1 event.
