The word making the rounds among talents last night that surgery would not be required and thankfully that is correct.
There were fractures to two vertebrae, the C-1 and the C-6 so he will be out for some time in order to recover.
The complete transcript of Big E's latest video message:
"So, I got some really good news, all things considered. The C-1 and C-6 are indeed fractured. Not a displacement though, which is a very good thing..and I don't have any damage to my spinal cord. No ligament damage, and no surgery, which I'm very thankful for....and, pro-tip, if you're going to break your neck, do it in Birmingham. They've been great. Everyone here at UAB has been great. But, for real, it's meant a ton to me that so many of you have been so kind and reached out, stopped in to see me, texted me. I feel like I sound like a broken record, but I am very grateful and I'm gonna be all right. It's a blessing."
