Kevin Owens appeared in the episode of April 4 of WWE Smackdown and delivered heartbreaking news: he will need a neck surgery and will not be able to compete in Wrestlemania 41. Many fans stayed wondering how the injury happened, and now Owens has revealed when he believes he took place.
While talking in My Mom’s BasementKevin Owens explained what he led to his decision to undergo surgery. He said that after 25 years of struggle, he usually feels good, but he began to notice that something was not right during fighting in recent months. Although he had a full -body magnetic resonance in December that he only showed minor spinal problems, which doctors said they were normal for fighters, things changed in January.
In a fight that month, Owens experienced two moments that severely shook his neck. After continuing with discomfort, he had another magnetic resonance this week, which revealed a serious problem. Owens believes that the January fight is when the real damage occurred, since everything seemed to be well in its previous scan.
“Doing this for 25 years, I feel really good. And even now, I feel great. It is not a constant problem. But in recent months, I had a problem in my fighting that made me think, 'I think something is not right.' ' And then we investigate it and discover, yes, there is something happening with my neck.
So I know with certainty that there is a specific moment because in December, I made a magnetic resonance of full body on my own, just to make sure, to see if there was anything that should be aware. At that time, the report returned by saying that my knees were wrong, but I have been very aware of that for a long time, so there was no concern there. And then there was something about my column and mild to moderate stenosis, which, for what we do, and I showed it to the doctors of WWE and how, 'yes, for what you do, everyone has a level of stenosis. All on the ground they walk have a level of stenosis. But your column, your neck and everything looks good. Everything looks good. For what you have been doing, you are fine. ' So I said, 'great.' And I felt great.
But then in January, I had a fight, and in combat, two things happened that really shook my neck. That's when the problem began. So I knew there was something. And then we ended up doing a magnetic resonance this week and we discovered that, it is serious. So I think that fight in January was what caused it because I had a magnetic resonance one month before that and everything looked good. ”
Kevin Owens explains how his neck injury happened
Owens also said that some people could blame their hard fighting style, but the injury came from anything extreme. It happened during a regular fight with simple movements that he has made many times before. This only shows how injuries can happen even in normal situations.
“So this is the fun part, right? I know that some of my detractors, and there are many out there, 'you see, so you should not do these things.' But I am telling you, it happened in a regular fight, there were no hardcore things, nothing. You understand?”
As reported above, Kevin Owens's neck problems, of which he spoke during his promo on SmackDown, are completely real. The situation was described as “terrible,” confirming that Owens is expected to undergo surgery, as he said. It was added that there are rumors behind the scene that it might need fusion surgery later, and received a lot of sympathy after his injury announcement.
Now that The Prizefighter is preparing for surgery and focusing on their recovery, fans around the world are sending their support and wishing you a quick and strong recovery.
