Kevin recently made an appearance at a public event where he was asked a question regarding his injury by Scotte Sprinkle of the Short Track Scene. While answering the question, Owens opened up about the actual severity of his injury and revealed that he hopes to return to the ring next year.

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," He said.WWE Superstar Kevin Owens (@FightOwensFight) details his neck surgery he had last month, his timetable and next steps in his recovery, and how he has been enjoying his time away from the ring.
