Update on Kevin Owens Injury – As noted earlier, Kevin Owens is reportedly dealing with an undisclosed injury — and now that report has been confirmed by Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer.
Meltzer supported the original claims on social media, stating that Owens is suffering from what has been described as a significant injury. While the exact nature of the injury has not been disclosed, it is serious enough to cast doubt on Owens’ scheduled match against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 41.
WWE had been building toward the Owens vs. Orton clash for months, and with just over two weeks remaining until the premium live event, company officials have reportedly begun discussing backup plans for Orton in case Owens cannot compete.
The uncertainty surrounding Owens’ health will reportedly be addressed during tonight’s episode of SmackDown, providing fans with a potential update on the situation.
Owens’ last match took place on March 1st at Elimination Chamber, where he competed against Sami Zayn in a violent Unsanctioned Match. While it’s unclear when the injury occurred, the physical toll of that bout could have contributed to his current condition.
As of now, WWE has not issued an official statement regarding Owens’ injury or the status of his WrestleMania match. Additional information is expected to surface following tonight’s SmackDown broadcast.
