Ahead of WrestleMania 41, on the April 4 edition of SmackDown, it was revealed that Kevin Owens is dealing with a neck injury that requires surgery. The announcement meant that Owens had to pull out of the scheduled match at the ‘Grandest Stage’.

Owens was set to battle Randy Orton, and the two stars were locked in a furious feud. Since his absence per reports, the Prizefighter has undergone successful neck surgery to repair the issues that forced him out of action.
