In a video he posted to Twitter, Big E said he has has all feeling and movement in his arms and legs, but he said doctors informed him he broke his neck.

โ€œI canโ€™t thank all of you beautiful people enough, for all of your concern and your messages. Itโ€™s very heart-warming. I can move all of my digits, [wiggles fingers to camera] you see that? Thatโ€™s nice, thatโ€™s always a good thing. Strength feels fine. But unfortunately, right now they tell me that my neck is broken, so there is that.

But once again, thank you everybody, Iโ€™m gonna be alright, Iโ€™ll be good. Donโ€™t worry, go to sleep. Donโ€™t worry about old me, but for real, thank you. I appreciate all of you.โ€
