Kevin Owens is in the limelight because of a shocking and sad reason. He recently announced that he will be undergoing a neck surgery. It now seems that the issue is more serious than expected. According to Fightful Select, a pro wrestling portal, he is not expected to return to in-ring competition this year. Moreover, there is a chance of him missing WrestleMania 42 as well. The timing of the injury could not have been worse.
