Former WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens has been sidelined with an injury for several months now. “KO” underwent knee surgery in October. Initially, it was believed that he would be out-of-action for eight months. If that remains the case, this would put Owens’ return sometime around February. But WWE began promoting Owens’ return last month during an episode of Monday Night RAW.
However, not much has been mentioned about him since. His last appearance on TV came on the RAW after WWE’s Super Show-Down in Australia. Bobby Lashley attacked Owens as a way to write him off television before his surgery. Many speculated that Owens would make his return at the Royal Rumble. However, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter points out that’s unlikely.
The report suggests that WWE isn’t anticipating bringing Owens back until after WrestleMania. It was also noted that Owens is expected to be cleared “fairly soon.” It will be interesting to see what WWE has in store for the former NXT Champion upon his return. Especially with his good friend Sami Zayn getting ready to get back into the ring as well.
What do you think about WWE holding off on bringing Owens back until after WrestleMania?
