Kevin Owens Expected To Stay Out Of Action For Longer Than First Thought

WWE wrote Kevin Owens off TV with the Bobby Lashley segment on this week’s Raw due to the fact that he is dealing with a knee injury and requires a surgery.

At the time it was believed that Owens would stay out of action for a few weeks and return to WWE Programming soon. However, things have escalated very quickly.

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, earlier it was believed that Owens was dealing with a minor issue, but there are people within the company who fear that his injury is more serious than first thought.

There hasn’t been an official diagnosis yet, so a concrete timetable on his return is not available. But word is that he will stay out of action from somewhere between four to eight months, depending on how his rehab goes.

This timetable means that Owens will not only be absent from the upcoming Survivor Series and Royal Rumble PPVs, but it’s possible that he will end up missing WrestleMania 35 as well.

On a positive note, this break can help Officials figure out a better plan for Kevin Owens when he returns, as many believe that his character has been directionless in recent times and it feels like the company doesn’t have a long term plan for him.
