Kevin Owens has officially taken the first step in his recovery—under the knife.
After weeks of uncertainty surrounding his spinal cord injury, former WWE Universal Champion finally underwent neck surgery on July 18. The operation was reportedly a success, marking a major moment in Owens’ road back after being forced to miss WrestleMania 41.
Those within WWE knew this would be a long haul. Sources via Fightful Select said that Owens was always expected to miss not just one, but two WrestleManias due to the severity of his condition. One WWE source noted: “One year is the likely minimum for an injury of this kind, but the reality is that they’re going to see how Kevin Owens heals and what he’s comfortable with as time progresses.”
Before surgery, things looked bleak. Owens had been battling serious spinal cord symptoms—neck pain, numbness in his arms, and trouble with leg movement—that sent concern across the locker room. His surgery was delayed due to excessive swelling, and the entire ordeal left his return status hanging by a thread.
Now, with the operation behind him, hope is back on the table—but the timeline remains tough. Typical recovery from neck surgery for wrestlers ranges from 13 to 15 months. Even then, nothing is guaranteed.
Owens’ last WWE appearance came before WrestleMania 41, and now it’s almost certain that WrestleMania 42 will come and go without him. His fans, however, know better than to count out a fighter like KO.
