Big E, a former WWE Champion, remains hopeful for a return to the ring despite being out of action for over two years due to a severe neck injury sustained in March 2022. He explained that although he has undergone successful surgery, he is not yet medically cleared to compete as one of his broken vertebrae is healing fibrously without forming new bone. In the meantime, Big E is enjoying his role as a pundit on WWE programming during premium live events. AEW star Lance Archer praised Big E's incredible strength and physical presence, recalling his training sessions where Big E demonstrated extraordinary lifting abilities. Archer described him as an 'insane freak of nature' and commended Big E's character, highlighting the admiration he garners within the wrestling community. As Big E focuses on his recovery, fans and fellow wrestlers alike look forward to his potential comeback.
