Kevin Owens’ neck damage has apparently gotten worse. Owens continues to be awaiting surgical procedure after a neck damage shelved him in April, however he has a tentative timeline to deal with the more and more worrying problem.

On April 4, Owens pulled out of WrestleMania 41, citing a neck damage. Owens claimed to have had the damage for 5 months, although he had wrestled Sami Zayn in a ruthless “Unsanctioned match” three days earlier. Owens expanded tremendously on his situation whereas talking with shut buddy and co-worker Cody Rhodes on the latter’s “What Do You Wish to Speak About?” podcast.

Owens’ neck damage was initially misdiagnosed as a result of his signs weren’t congruent with neck or spinal twine accidents. Even after medical doctors recognized the difficulty, Owens continued functioning with out the sometimes related signs. Sadly, that modified shortly earlier than their podcast episode, launched on Wednesday, was recorded.

“Within the final week, for some purpose, the signs all got here in a single shot,” Owens informed Rhodes. “Each symptom you’d anticipate me to have, the ache within the neck, the stuff happening the arms, the legs not likely responding, it is all been taking place. 

“So it has been fairly f—ing brutal. I am unable to anticipate the surgical procedure. After which to maneuver ahead, no matter that appears like — but it surely’s been very irritating.”

Owens spoke with a number of medical professionals and different skilled wrestlers with related accidents. Owens opted to delay surgical procedure to permit his spinal twine to heal naturally. Along with his newfound ache, Owens is extra keen to maneuver ahead with the surgical procedure, tentatively deliberate for the summer season. 

“We’re letting my spinal twine heal as a lot as we are able to by itself earlier than we go in for the surgical procedure, as a result of how in depth the surgical procedure will likely be is determined by how my spinal twine seems to be once we go in there,” Owens mentioned.

“We’re ready until mid-July to do the surgical procedure,” he later added. “Hopefully, it is a regular neck fusion. It won’t be, we do not know.”
