5 Current WWE Superstars who admitted to having mental health issues

#1. Big E — The former WWE Champion had a long battle with depression

Big E was one of the fastest-rising stars of WWE in 2021. He became the WWE Champion after cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Bobby Lashley. Despite his reign as the champion not panning out the way fans hoped, it made him more popular than he ever was before.

Speaking to Pat McAfee on his podcast, Big E revealed how he took a long time to battle depression from his early years:

”It took me a long, long time. I try my best to never tell anyone, ‘this is the way you need to go to overcome mental illness. We all have our own paths and what works for us. What worked for me; at 19 years old, I had a coach of mine, Rod Akin, who essentially forced me to go talk to someone. In many ways, it really saved my life. Even then, it took a while for me to get into the process".

Big E stated that he began meditating for at least 12 minutes a day. Tapping into a daily spiritual practice has helped him immensely.
