That could be worse. Injuries can be devastating to anyone in wrestling as you never know when one of them will take place. Some of them come out of nowhere due to a simple mistake in a match and those can often be the worst possible. What matters the most is how long it will take someone to get healthy and we have positive updates on a pair of injured wrestlers.
Both Big E. and Chelsea Green were injured over the last week and have now provided updates on their situations. Big E. was injured during a match this week on SmackDown and posted a video saying he had broken his neck. He has since sent out another video, announcing that his C1 and C6 vertebrae are fractured but not displaced. He also has no ligament or spinal cord damage. As a result, he will not need surgery, though there is no timetable for his return.
Green was injured during a match with Deonna Purrazzo at Impact Wrestling’s Sacrifice event. According to F4WOnline.com, Green suffered a fractured radius in her forearm. Green will also be able to avoid surgery and will be wrestling with her wrist in a cast, which was the case this week on Impact Wrestling. This is at least the third arm injury that Green has suffered in the last three years.
That sounds positive. Check out Big E.’s update:
Opinion: That is great to hear and now we begin the healing process for both of them. That is going to take some time but what matters is the fact that they both could be a lot worse. I’m not sure what is going to happen with them going forward, but at least Green can continue wrestling for now, while Big E. is on the men. This could be a lot worse and that is always a positive.
What is next for both of them? How should their companies handle how they are presented? Let us know in the comments below.
