Kevin Owens was scheduled to face Randy Orton at WrestleMania 41
“It's a very slow process. I still haven’t had the surgery. There’s a lot of things to consider before the surgery. We’re kind of waiting to see how things progress naturally. There’s no doubt I need surgery, but before we do the surgery, we just have to see how much it can… Not recover, because it won’t recover, but slightly improve without surgery.
Presently, there is no update on when Kevin Owens can finally return to action
“Afterward, we can make a plan and decide what’s the best thing to do for surgery. But it’s a very slow process. You just have to have patience. I don’t usually have a lot of patience, but this time I have no choice.” the former WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion expressed his disappointment.
