The WWE has announced that Kevin Owens has been pulled from the remaining SmackDown house shows this weekend in Chile and Argentina due to personal issues. Owens competed at last night’s (Thurs. October 19, 2017) live event from Buenos Aires where he lost to WWE United States Champion Baron Corbin and Tye Dillinger in a Triple Threat match:
“Kevin Owens left Buenos Aires today and will not appear at the remaining Live Events in Argentina and Chile this weekend, WWE.com has learned.
“Though Owens did perform at Luna Park for Thursday night’s Live Event in Buenos Aires, he has left before the remaining Live Event dates scheduled in Argentina for tonight, and at the Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile, this Friday and Saturday, due to personal reasons.”
Owens left Buenos Aires earlier today. We also previously reported that AJ Styles missed last night’s event due to a stomach illness but is still advertised for tonight’s event in Buenos Aires.
