Kevin Owens meets up with Hollywood icon amid WWE hiatus

WWE's Kevin Owens might not be on SmackDown or RAW right now, but the former Universal Champion is keeping busy. The 41-year-old was recently seen with beloved Hollywood star and huge pro wrestling fan, Macaulay Culkin.

Owens has been gone from TV for quite a while. The Prize Fighter's been away for seven months, recovering from an unfortunate neck injury. Recently, it was reported that Owens underwent neck fusion surgery, which could keep him away from the ring for over a year.

Thankfully, everyone's favorite wrestler's "best friend" has been enjoying his time away. We saw Kevin Owens dressed up as the GOAT John Cena for Halloween a few months ago, and now it seems he's palling around with a holiday icon. Macaulay Culkin, best known as Kevin from the Home Alone series, recently shared a photo with Owens on Instagram.

"Just a couple of Kevins. Thanks for coming to the show last night @officialfightowensfight It was great meeting you and your family. Say happy birthday to Owen for me. Get well soon dude."

In the comments, Culkin jokingly responded to his fans, stating, "Y'all are right, he would make a good Buzz." So if we get a new Home Alone movie...could Owens take the role?

Kevin Owens' last WWE storyline had to be scrapped due to injury

During the road to WrestleMania 41, Kevin Owens wrapped up a feud with longtime "frenemy" Sami Zayn when his newer best friend Randy Orton attacked him at Elimination Chamber: Toronto. It was clear we'd be getting a match between the pair, which was even announced for WrestleMania 41 Night 2.

Sadly, Kevin Owens' WrestleMania moment was taken from him thanks to a neck injury that would require major surgery. Owens confirmed back in August that he underwent neck fusion surgery. Nick Aldis and Owens broke the news to a live WWE crowd on the April 4th SmackDown, weeks away from Mania.

Thankfully, as he said, it was only a level one neck fusion, and while it's not a guarantee, he's hoping he can be back in the ring sometime in late 2026. While Owens unfortunately missed out on his WrestleMania moment, Randy Orton managed to get his time to shine.

Orton would issue an open challenge, which then-TNA World Champion Joe Hendry would answer.
