WWE superstar Kevin Owens recently shared a candid update on his ongoing neck injury and what lies ahead for his in-ring career. The former Universal Champion has been sidelined since April 2025, leaving fans concerned about his future in WWE.
Kevin Owens on navigating recovery and delaying surgery
In an exclusive interview with le10Sport, Owens revealed that he has not yet undergone surgery for his neck injury. 'There's no doubt I need surgery,' he said, '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.'
Owens stressed the importance of patience during this slow healing process. 'You just have to have patience. I don't usually have a lot of patience, but this time I have no choice,' he admitted.
This level of vulnerability is rare for the fierce competitor known for his hard-hitting style.
Owens first noticed symptoms following a match against Rey Mysterio on the January 17, 2025, episode of SmackDown. The injury worsened after a brutal ladder match at the Royal Rumble, where Cody Rhodes slammed him through a ladder with an Alabama Slam.

'It would be, not arrogant, but false to be able to tell you right now that I will absolutely return to the ring, that I will have other fights. I don't know if that's true,' he said. His honesty leaves fans hopeful yet cautious.
Owens' story reflects the harsh reality many WWE superstars face with neck injuries. Big E, another top star, has been out since 2022 due to a broken neck and remains medically unfit to compete. Injuries like these underline the physical risks wrestlers take and how careers can be suddenly altered.
Despite the uncertainty, Owens expressed gratitude for his career so far. On social media, he recalled a milestone moment from ten years ago - his clash with John Cena for the WWE United States Championship, which 'changed his life forever.'
'The last 10 years have been so amazing,' Owens wrote, even as he struggles with this injury setback. Fans worldwide admire his resilience and hope to see him back in action one day.
For now, Kevin Owens' health and recovery remain the priority. The WWE Universe watches and waits as 'The Prizefighter' navigates this challenging chapter of his wrestling journey.

According to ESPN, his childhood was filled with tractor rides, cotton picking, and even mini golf and batting cages at home. Allen's father, Joel, once told The Denver Post, 'If I wanted him to drive a tractor, he was there... He did it all. I think that helped him with his work ethic. He's not afraid of hard work.'

IC Markets Mendaftar Undo A perfect mix of action and comedy The Etimes review has praised 'Heads of State' for striking the right balance between action and comedy. It reads, 'As an action-comedy, the film strikes a fine balance between both genres—neither overshadowing the other. Amid the adrenaline-pumping sequences, there's plenty of room for laughter. Much of the comedy stems from Elba and Cena's sharp repartee, with their flawless comic timing and undeniable chemistry adding to the film's charm. ' It also highlights the exciting range of action scenes, from dramatic fights on Air Force One and speedy train chases to a light-hearted clash with some Polish punk teenagers. As the review puts it, 'From serious fights aboard Air Force One to one on a speeding train and those on the roads to a silly skirmish with Polish punk teenagers, every action sequence is thrilling.'
