Pro wrestling is a grueling sport that comes with its risks and injuries. Many promising careers have been affected because of injuries suffered inside the ring. Former WWE Champion and New Day member Big E, unfortunately, suffered the same fate last year on an episode of SmackDown. The 36-year-old star landed on the top of his head during a tag team match against Sheamus and Ridge Holland and broke his neck [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-top-wwe-stars-and-wrestling-world-pray-for-big-e-after-suffering-brutal-neck-injury-on-smackdown/]. The ringside paramedics stretched him out and later it was revealed that his C1 was broken in two spots. The famed tag team wrestler has been in injury rehab since and while there has been progress, his in-ring status is uncertain. Now fellow New Day member Kofi Kingston [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kofi-kingston/] has shared the latest update on his friend’s health. KOFI KINGSTON SHARES AN UPDATE ON BIG E’S RECOVERY Last month, Big E talked about his progress from the horrific neck injury and said he isn’t dealing with any impairment as far as nerve and strength issues. He mentioned that he wanted his C1 to be “rock solid” before he could return to in-ring competition. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/BigEImages.jpg] His tag team partner on the night he broke his neck, Kofi Kingston, recently gave an update on Big E’s recovery. Speaking to Peter Rosenberg on the “Cheap Heat” [https://open.spotify.com/episode/1mdcvbPYo02nfru9PLsMCJ?si=bHc5i6WNRym24Vri3n2L8Q&utm_source=whatsapp]podcast, Kofi said that Big E is doing great.

I mean, for someone who literally broke their neck, it’s amazing to see the level of recovery.” READ MORE: Heart-Rending Health Update of Top WWE Star Leave Fans Dejected: “Damn, That S***s” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-wrestling-news-1447641-2/] Kingston then mentioned that Big E will have a new scan to further evaluate his recovery. He stated, “So they want to do a new scan, I believe in March, and they want to see where things are and we’ll kind of go from there.” The former WWE Champion also said the most important thing is that Big E lives his life in a “comfortable fashion and be happy.” [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Big-E-FI.jpg] Despite not being involved in-ring action since his injury, Big E has done promotional work for WWE and even did the introduction for NASCAR Championship 4 race [https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-nascar-news-wwe-star-who-surpassed-arnold-schwarzeneggers-bench-press-record-wins-hearts-with-his-electrifying-introduction-for-nascar-championship-4-best-part-of-the-race/amp/] a couple of months back.

<h1 class="acss2f015">Big E 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h1>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-568781 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210301174205/big-e-2.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" />

One of the strongest and physically imposing superstars on the roster, Big E is the current Intercontinental Championship. The former member of the New Day is WWE's brightest prospect and has been pushed to be the next main event star of the company.

Prior to making a career in wrestling, Big E was an excellent power lifter and one who broke American power lifting records. He dreamed of becoming a professional footballer but suffered too many injuries to fulfill it. Instead, he pursued wrestling and got signed to a developmental contract.

Big E wrestled at Florida Championship Wrestling, WWE's developmental territory before they established NXT. After NXT came into the picture, Big E became the brand's second champion, beating fellow FCW alumni Seth Rollins.
<h2>WWE main roster (2012-Present)</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-568775 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210301173622/big-e-and-dolph-ziggler.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

Big E debuted on the main roster as AJ Lee's bodyguard, attacking John Cena. He soon formed a team with Dolph Ziggler, AJ's boyfriend. The team even challenged for the WWE Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania, but were beaten by Team Hell No. The former power lifter was also by Ziggler's side when he cashed in the MITB contract on the Raw after WrestleMania.

Big E turned on Ziggler when he broke up with AJ Lee and embarked on a singles run of his own. He beat Curtis Axel to win his first title on the main roster, the Intercontinental Championship. He defended it against the likes of The Miz, Cesaro, Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Curtis Axel.
<h2>New Day (2014-2020)</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-568474 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210301135204/Xavier-Woods-Big-E-and-Kofi-Kingston-as-New-Day.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" />

After dropping the title to Bad News Barrett at Extreme Rules 2014, Big E found himself directionless, but found a new trajectory. Alongside Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, the New Day became one of WWE's most successful stables. They currently hold the record for the longest Tag Team Championship reign of all time.

With the group, Big E won eight tag team championships. Once the group disbanded in 2020, E embarked on another singles run. He beat Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship on Christmas Day. However, this was just the beginning of the push that he received from WWE.

Big E lost the Intercontinental title to Apollo Crews at the WrestleMania 37 pay-per-view after interference from Commander Azeez.
However, this hardly hindered Big E’s singles run as he targeted the Money in the Bank contract. Big E surprised everyone when he won the briefcase at the MITB PPV, making him the first African-American superstar to hold the contract.

On September 13th, Big E cashed in his Money in the Bank contract against Bobby Lashley on an episode of Raw and won the WWE Championship for the first time in his career and became the thirty-third Triple Crown Champion of the company

According to his WWE contract, E’s basic salary is $500,000. However, he is also subjected to getting more pay on his merchandise sale for the company.</span>
<h2>Big E Achievements</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-568769 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210301173243/big-e-ic-champion.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" />

The former power lifter may have shattered records and won numerous trophies prior to his WWE career, but his wrestling record isn't less impressive.

Big E was the second NXT Champion in history, beating Seth Rollins for the title. He is a two-time Intercontinental Champion. With the New Day, he's held eight tag team championships; two Raw Tag Titles and six SmackDown tag titles.

<span style="font-weight: 400">He also won the Money In the Bank contract and successfully cashed in on Bobby Lashley.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Big E is also the reigning WWE champion, where he has successfully defended his title against the likes of Bobby Lashley and Kevin Owens.</span>

He was part of the first-ever tag-team Hell in a Cell match and first tag team Elimination Chamber match.
<h2>Personal Life</h2>

We know not much about the superstar's personal life. He was born in Tampa, Florida, and is the son of Jamaican and Montserratian immigrants. He and his New Day teammates have a podcast called 'Feel the Power'.

Big E created an animated show called 'Our Heroes Rock!', along with Jonathan Davenport and Andreas Hale. The show is based on a concept that originally began as wrestling gear designed by <span class="bold">Jonathan Davenport became much more ambitious when a conversation with Andreas Hale led to the idea to create an animated series that brings attention to some lesser-known stories in our history that will be empowering to young men and women of color.  </span>
