Big E has trashed his neck brace in a new video posted to his Instagram story.
On the March 11 episode of WWE SmackDown, Big E suffered a broken neck after landing awkwardly following a belly-to-belly suplex on the outside from Ridge Holland. As a result, Big E suffered a fracture to his C1 vertebrae and C6 vertebra. Thankfully, Big E did not require surgery in order to fix the fractures. Since the injury, E has been wearing a neck brace but in a new video posted to his Instagram story, Big E appears to be throwing his neck brace in the trash.
