Back in December, WWE aired a brief promo package of former WWE Universal champion Kevin Owens to hype his return to the ring; however, a date was never given for when Owens would make his way back to the squared circle.
Now it appears that question has been answered.
According to the latest issue of the
Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Kevin Owens is not expected to return until after WrestleMania. Creative wrote Owens off television in October due to the former Universal champion needing double knee surgery.
However, there’s no word on what the plans for his return will be. In Owens’ last television match against Bobby Lashley, the RAW superstar was clearly a babyface. There’s been no mention on whether Owens will return as a babyface or not, though it wouldn’t be much of a surprise if the company pretended that Owens brief face turn didn’t happen.
