Former WWE Champion Big E is taking his story beyond the ring. The retired superstar is set to step onto a TEDx stage in Davenport, Iowa, where he will speak openly about his struggles with depression and psychosis.
The talk is part of a TEDxDavenport event scheduled for Wednesday, August 12. The former New Day member announced his participation through his Instagram, noting that his conversation will center on those mental-health battles.
The appearance marks a step in his post-wrestling life after he confirmed his retirement from in-ring competition, giving the superstar a public platform to discuss issues that reach well beyond the squared circle.
