This really sucks and I wish I could see him wrestle again. But if it means he gets to live a longer, less pain-filled life so be it. Like, it's incredible that he came out of that without any paralysis. Or alive. Because it gave me a very ugly reminder of how Misawa died.

Sucks that Big E's WWE title reign wasn't booked so well, and I wish he could have been confirmed as a new color commentator post-SummerSlam, but I can't blame him for not wanting to risk paralysis after his neck injury last year.
I hope I'll still get to see him on WWE TV in some capacity.

When I saw it happen, I got flashbacks to Tyson Kidd, and figured this might be the outcome.
At least Big E got to hold the World Title, and hope he can stick around in a non-wrestling capacity.

He had an amazing Hall of Fame career and I'm sad the in-ring part of it is ending. I was personally hoping Goldberg was going to have his retirement match against him as E always called Goldberg his favorite wrestling and E seemed to be the only wrestler of his generation that Goldberg took a massive shine towards on a personal level.
The sky's the limit for him and I hope his health sustains for a fully functional joyfilled life wherever it may take him.

If it means he can live a healthy life, then great. He can still return as New Days manager, maybe add a fourth member to replace Big E

He's probably the most charismatic person in the entire company and he reached the peak. Let him rest and become a fantastic GM or even a commentator.

He’d be a fantastic manager.

You know, the fact that Edge came back should give people hope that they can always reapproach things in the future. It's better to be safe than sorry now, but who knows what the future holds. He was in one of the hottest acts in the company that helped make the tag division exciting again, and he was able to capture the historical WWE title at the end of his career. That's not a bad legacy to leave behind, not to mention everyone seems to love the guy.

Too shocked and saddened by this. I'm glad he's alive, just sad it happened.

Have him replace Adam Pearce as GM.

Considering last month Droz passed away his injury could have been what happened to Big E. Thankfully Big E got lucky. Guys had a hell of a career. WWE champ, IC Champ, NXT Champ, MITB winner and one of the longest reigning Tag Team champs and has been on tv since like 2012.
Goes to show just how much potential he had that people still think he could've done more. Sad but thankful he can still walk away from it.

Big E should be offered one of those lifetime deals as a manager/Embassador/hypeman/whatever. He's got a lot of non-ring value. 100% this. Have him on the Pre show panels. Different shows as a host. The guy is a natural with personality for that stuff.

Once we heard one of the fractures was in C1, I kinda figured this would be the case, even with no nerve damage or any loss of feeling.
That’s the area you don’t want f***ed up. Ask Tyson Kidd.
Dude definitely should be a hype man/manager/announcer/ambassador. Or all of them.

Not sure any of those actually ever happened besides the original ones Junior was legally obligated to fulfill, like Gorilla. Even Droz was eventually let go. I’m sure Big E will have a job if he wants one, but it won’t be a lifetime deal.

I'm just glad Big E is okay on the whole, that's what's important. If he can't return that sucks but at least he can live without complication.
