WWE’s Kevin Owens Injury & Surgery Update

WWE

Kevin Owens has provided an update on his neck injury, opening up about the frustrating process surrounding his recovery.

Owens announced on the April 4 SmackDown episode that he had suffered a serious neck injury, which resulted in his match against Randy Orton slated for WrestleMania 41 being pulled.

Speaking on Cody Rhodes ‘Do You Wanna Talk About‘ podcast, Owens noted that he’s waiting until mid-July to have surgery.

He explained:

“It’s been such a frustrating process, we’re letting my spinal cord heal as much as it can on its own before we go in for the surgery because how extensive the surgery will be depends on how my spinal cord looks when we go in there…

“…We’re waiting until mid July to do the surgery hopefully its a normal neck fusion, it might not be, we don’t know. So since then I’ve felt fine, my neck’s been fine I’m not in pain.

“I have no real symptoms you would expect somebody with a spinal cord injury to have but in the last week for some reason all the symptoms came in one shot, all the symptoms you’d expect me to have: the pain in the neck, the stuff going down the arms, the legs not really responding, it’s all been happening.

“So it’s been pretty f**king brutal. I really can’t wait for this surgery and then to move forward, whatever that looks like, but it’s been very frustrating.”
