Owens was supposed to battle Randy Orton at WrestleMania 41, but the neck injury prevented that from happening. Joe Hendry was named as Owens' replacement, and he was quickly defeated by The Viper at The Show of Shows. It was recently reported that Hendry had signed a contract with WWE.

Randy Orton hasn't competed in a match since teaming up with Cody Rhodes in a loss to The Vision's Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker on the October 3 edition of SmackDown. Meanwhile, Bron Breakker is scheduled to battle CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship on the January 5, 2026, episode of RAW.

"I did get a neck fusion. It was very stressful going into it because we're not really sure how severe the fusion was gonna be and how many levels and all that stuff. Thankfully, it ended up being only one level, which was the best case scenario. Surgery was successful, and my doctor says we have to see how the bones fuse, and there's no guarantee that it's gonna work. It's how my body heals. Some guys were successful. Fingers crossed, I get to come back to wrestling in the next year," Owens said.

Only time will tell when Kevin Owens will be able to return to WWE television.
