Kevin Owens Undergoes Successful Neck Surgery – Kevin Owens is officially on the road to recovery after undergoing neck surgery on Thursday, July 18, to address the lingering issues that kept him out of action earlier this year—including missing a spot on the WrestleMania 41 card.
WWE sources have confirmed that the procedure was successful. However, the injury itself is serious enough that Owens is expected to miss a significant amount of time. As previously reported when the issue first came to light, the company anticipated that Owens would likely be sidelined for both WrestleMania 41 and potentially WrestleMania 42, which is currently scheduled for mid-April 2026.
A source familiar with the situation told WrestlingAttitude.Com that the typical minimum recovery window for this type of neck surgery is about a year. That said, WWE is reportedly taking a cautious approach with Owens, focusing on long-term health rather than a rushed return. His rehabilitation will be closely monitored, and any potential comeback will depend on how well he responds to recovery and physical therapy.
This marks another frustrating chapter for “The Prize Fighter,” whose momentum has been derailed multiple times over the past few years due to injuries. Still, Owens remains one of WWE’s most popular and respected performers, and his eventual return—whenever that may be—is expected to generate significant fan interest.
We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available regarding Kevin Owens’ recovery and WWE return plans.
