Wearing a neck brace, he explained that he has retained all feeling and movement throughout his body and that he “feels fine.”
“I can’t thank all of you beautiful people enough for all of your concern and messages,” Big E said in the clip. “It’s very heartwarming. … I’m gonna be all right. I’ll be good. Don’t worry. Go to sleep. Don’t worry about old me. But for real, thank you. I appreciate all of you.”
The 36-year-old wrestler won the WWE Championship back in September and held the title until January. He has also won multiple tag-team championships with his group, The New Day, alongside Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
