Owens’ Year-Long Hiatus
Kevin Owens has been out of the WWE action due to a serious neck injury something that has taken him almost a year before his recovery. The retired legend realized the test results in the past season during Road to WrestleMania 41. The trauma forced him to go on a break at a very critical stage of his life.
Owens’ Contract Renewal
It was also in the course of Owens giving some of his best work. He had fought with the champion Cody Rhodes twice in marquee fights. Those performances pleased the leadership of WWE including that of Triple H. This is what made the company renew the contract of Owens which is estimated to carry up to 2030.
Owens’ Forced Retirement
The other hot plot which Owens was to have been engaged was with his old-time friend and competitor Sami Zayn. That rivalry was expected to lead to a large scale battle with Randy Orton at WrestleMania Las Vegas. Unfortunately, his neck did not get better, and everything was to be altered on the spur of the moment. Doctors advised Owens to retire so as to avoid a permanent injury.
Professional wrestling is so serious about neck injuries. The same has forced some of the WWE stars in the past to retire prematurely. With that background, medical personnel are likely to prescribe a long-term period of recovery and rigorous rehabilitation.
Owens’ Recovery Progress
Owens is currently focusing on the journey to healing. It is observed that he has taken rehabilitation as a profession and with firm determination. However, it is not clear whether he would keep on with the ring. According to the most recent speculations, his health status can be re-evaluated in the middle of the summer.
WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin, in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, informed him that he personally had contacted Owens earlier this year. Over the years, the Canadian star has been in a friendly relationship with Austin.
Owens Praised by Peers
I had made a call to Kevin some months ago. I think he has a good doctor, because he says he has, and I made a suggestion which I had heard of. I care about the guy. Love the guy. He’s a Hall of Fame talent. I am not aware of how he hit his neck, but he got plenty of hits. He did a lot of stuff.”
Meanwhile, there is a good news waiting of the WWE fans. One day Owens wants to make a safe comeback to the ring.
