Following his recovery, E mostly serves as an occasional host, guest or panelist on various WWE shows.

In August 2023, he revealed that he had been advised by doctors never to wrestle again despite having no nerve damage or strength issues.[148] He said, "They said like, 'Hey, I would not wrestle again if I were you.' So, for me, at 37, these are things that I think about. ... I started this job at 23 years old, and probably had a bit of a death wish and was okay dying in the ring ... I now, at 37, would like to not die in the ring; I would like to do other things with my life." As of 2024, it is still unknown if Big E will ever return to active wrestling.[148] Two years after the incident, he revealed on X that his neck had healed fibrously but failed to build new bone structure, and concluded that due to this he was not medically cleared and unlikely to ever be cleared.[149]
