Chicago, Illinois – Professional wrestler Kevin Owens recently revealed in an interview with Barstool Sports that he will be undergoing surgery for a neck injury that will force him to miss WrestleMania. Owens expressed disappointment that news of his injury had leaked before he had the opportunity to share it with his fans.
During the interview, Owens detailed that his neck issues began in January after a routine match where he experienced jarring impacts. Despite previous assessments from WWE doctors indicating good health, a recent MRI revealed a more severe condition. Owens mentioned that the injury occurred during a standard match, rather than one of the more extreme matches he has participated in throughout his 25-year career.
Although Owens expressed shock upon receiving the news of his injury, he remains optimistic about the future. He acknowledged the support of his family, colleagues, and fans during this challenging time. Owens expressed disappointment over not being able to compete against Randy Orton at WrestleMania due to his injury, as well as frustration over the premature leaking of the news.
While surgery has yet to be scheduled, Owens anticipates a recovery period of six to twelve months. Despite the uncertainty, Owens remains hopeful that he will be able to return to the ring and continue his wrestling career. The wrestler’s openness about his injury and his determination to recover have garnered support from fans and colleagues alike.
