Kevin Owens suffered a neck injury earlier this year, a heartbreaking setback for fans. The injury not only forced him to miss WrestleMania but also sidelined him for the foreseeable future. With no confirmed timeline for ‘The Prizefighter’s return, Owens recently provided a major update on his condition.

Speaking with Le10Sport, Kevin Owens revealed that he is uncertain whether he’ll ever be able to return to in-ring competition in WWE. He shared that his current condition is critical, and he has been strongly advised against taking any major physical action. Even after a full recovery, Owens admitted he has no idea if stepping back into the ring will be possible.

It would be, not arrogant, but wrong to be able to tell you right now that I’m absolutely going to get back in the ring, that I’m going to have more fights. I don’t know if that’s true

The former Universal Champion expressed deep gratitude for the overwhelming support he has received from fans. He shared his appreciation for the time he’s been able to spend in the ring throughout his career. In a moment of raw honesty, Owens remarked that he doesn’t think he has any more fights left in him.

Moreover, ‘The Prizefighter’ was originally scheduled to face Randy Orton at this year’s WrestleMania. However, as his neck injury worsened, he was pulled from the event. Despite being sidelined, Owens has remained active on social media, frequently sharing his thoughts on current storylines.

Kevin Owens revealed the exact moment when he suffered the injury

Kevin Owens revealed during his final promo on SmackDown that he had been dealing with a neck injury for the past two months.

In the same interview with Le10Sport, the former Universal Champion revealed that his match against Rey Mysterio on SmackDown, just before the Royal Rumble, was the moment he sustained the injury. Owens shared that it initially felt minor, but over time, it developed into a serious issue.

Furthermore, Owens revealed that it took WWE two months to properly diagnose the injury, and he was informed just two days before making the official announcement on SmackDown. This means Owens competed in his intense showdowns with Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn while already carrying the injury.

Kevin Owens also talked about his surgery and recovery period

Kevin Owens revealed in his farewell speech that he would be taking time off to undergo surgery. While it was expected that ‘The Prizefighter’ would have the procedure in the coming weeks, Owens recently opened up about the timeline for his surgery and shared how he feels about it moving forward.

Owens shared that the recovery process has been slow, and he and his medical team are still monitoring whether the injury can heal naturally. While he believes surgery will likely be necessary, he emphasized the need for patience. Owens admitted that he’s usually impatient, but in this case, he has no choice but to wait and see.

I still haven’t had the surgery. There’s a lot of things to consider before the surgery. We’re kind of waiting to see how things progress naturally. There’s no doubt I need surgery, but before we do the surgery, we just have to see how much it can… Not recover, because it won’t recover, but slightly improve without surgery.
