WWE Superstar Big E Speaks Out After Suffering a Broken Neck During Match: 'Life Feels Even More Precious'

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar Big E has escaped death after he sustained a neck injury during a recent match.

Big E, whose real name is Ettore Ewen, revealed on Twitter on Tuesday that he had a "C1 fracture" following his match at a WWE SmackDown event in Alabama.

"Had my first doctor's appointment and learning (because of the C1 fracture) I narrowly escaped a stroke, paralysis or death is very sobering," the WWE star said.

Big E added that "life feels even more precious and valuable now."

Last week, the WWE superstar shared a short video clip on his Instagram to update his 1.1 million followers on his condition.

In the video, Big E, who was wearing a "Street Fighter matching outfit," can be seen walking with a neck brace around "his neighborhood."

The WWE superstar then said: "Life is good. Breath in my lungs... My neck might be broken, but my heart, it's, it's still in there."

Big E also filmed himself while he was in the hospital. Wearing a neck brace, he said he could move all his fingers and was feeling fine at that time, TMZ reported.

He also said that the doctors told him that his neck was broken. Big E also thanked his fans in the video for supporting him following the accident.

"I can't thank all of you beautiful people enough for all of your concern and your messages, it's very heartwarming," Big E noted.
