Big E issues public statement to fans after stating that he is “retired” from professional wrestling
While speaking to Compas On The Beat, Big E noted that “in wrestling they always say ‘never say never’ but right now I’m retired and that for me is it.” In a post on Twitter/X, Big E issued the following public statement to fans…
“I entered the pro wrestling industry at age 23 with an injury history that included a Torn Left ACL, Torn Right ACL, Torn Left Pec, and a Broken Right Patella. At 39, I’m well aware, that I will one day have to pay the piper. I’ve put my body through a lot.
And somehow, I feel great. I don’t battle daily pain. I’m able to function normally and healthfully. I’m eternally grateful for the wonderful career I stumbled into.
I pray for all of my fellow athletes and performers who have not had the same good fortune. A sincere thank you to everyone who has taken the time to follow my in-ring career. It was an immeasurable gift to get to perform for you all.”
