Kevin Owens won’t make any declarations about his professional wrestling future. Owens has been off WWE television since April as he recovers from a serious neck injury. The 11-year WWE veteran awaits surgery and can’t promise he’ll be physically fit for a return.
“It would be, not arrogant, but false to be able to tell you right now that I will absolutely return to the ring, that I will have other fights,” Owens told French publication Le10Sport, according to a translation from Sports Illustrated. “I don’t know if that’s true.”
On April 1, Owens pulled out of his WrestleMania 41 match with Randy Orton. The former WWE universal champion revealed he was performing with a neck injury for five months. Owens plans to undergo surgery, but is waiting to see how well his body heals before medical intervention.
“I still haven’t had the surgery,” Owens said. “There are a lot of things to consider before the surgery. We’re kind of waiting to see how things progress naturally.
“There’s no doubt I need surgery, but before we do the surgery, we just have to see how much it can… Not recover, because it won’t recover, but slightly improve without surgery. ”
Owens, 41, has dedicated most of his life to pro wrestling. The Canadian made his in-ring debut at the age of 16 before cutting his teeth in the respected Ring of Honor promotion. Since signing with WWE in 2014, Owens has won numerous titles, including one world title reign. Among his biggest achievements are twice headlining Night 1 of WrestleMania by winning the undisputed tag team titles with best friend Sami Zayn, and welcoming “Stone Cold” Steve Austin out of a 19-year retirement.
Being sidelined indefinitely is uncomfortable for a performer who has dedicated most of his life to his passion.
“It’s a very slow process. You have to have patience,” Owens said. “I don’t usually have a lot of patience, but this time I have no choice.”

Cadillac se dohodl s prvním pilotem pro svou stáj F1
Spekulace o obsazení dvou nových jezdeckých míst ve formuli 1 se tak začínají měnit v realitu. Podle zahraničních médií dal Cadillac přednost Bottasovi před Sergiem Pérezem i dalšími kandidáty. Oficiální oznámení pětatřicetiletého Fina jako prvního závodního jezdce americké stáje v historii by mělo následovat příští týden.Bottas letos vynechává svůj první závodní rok po dvanácti po sobě jdoucích sezónách, během nichž působil ve Williamsu, Sauberu (respektive Alfě Romeo) a Mercedesu. V jeho barvách pomohl během pěti let k pěti titulům v Poháru konstruktérů.Po konci angažmá v Sauberu se vrátil do Mercedesu, kde zastává pozici rezervního jezdce. Opakovaně však uvedl, že mu pravidelné závodění chybí a jeho hlavní prioritou pro ročník 2026 je návrat za volant formule 1.Není zatím jasné, zda svou současnou roli v německé stáji opustí, nebo v ní setrvá až do konce roku. Jedno je však zřejmé – Cadillac chce ještě letos nasadit své jezdce do testování starších monopostů. Pravděpodobně k tomu využije dřívější modely […]

How Klopp’s unusual approach persuaded Bakayoko to join Leipzig
The catalyst for Johan Bakayoko's summer move to Leipzig was a conversation with Red Bull's head of global sport. "When I had the talk with Jurgen Klopp, that was like the trigger point for me," he explains. "Before, I wanted to go. But now, I have to go."Bakayoko smiles when asked what exactly Klopp said to persuade him to leave PSV in Eindhoven and make the move to RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. "That was the most funny part of it," he says. "We did not even talk about him wanting me to come." He explains: "It was really about football and what vision I have on football. He even told me, like, even if you go to some other club, then you have to do this to adapt better." The player appreciated not being given the hard sell, just […]
Nejde to. Po sezoně snů česká kometa Manuel mistrovství světa vynechá
„Moc jsem se chtěla vrátit k závodění a alespoň jeden venkovní mítink si zaběhnout. Bohužel, i když je hamstring zahojený, nestihla bych natolik kvalitní trénink, abych byla připravená na mistrovství republiky nebo světa. Občas je potřeba poslechnout své tělo. Když se podívám na minulý rok i letošní halu, bylo toho opravdu hodně a tělo si řeklo o restart,“ vysvětlila.První tréninkový závod v nové skupině kouče Laurenta Meuwlyho na stovce v Bruselu skončil svalovým zraněním. Musela se odhlásit ze Zlaté tretry Ostrava, kde loni v 18 letech zazářila jako nejrychlejší evropská juniorka za posledních 33 let časem 50,59 s, vynechala i mistrovství Evropy družstev v Madridu.Během rekonvalescence úspěšně zvládla maturitu na obchodní akademii v Táboře a živila naději, že se dá do pořádku pro zářijové mistrovství světa v Tokiu. „Moc ráda bych se vrátila, ale vím, že není dobré to uspěchat. Raději bych to nechala úplně vyléčit a pak se vrátila s vírou, že se nic takového už nestane,“ líčila […]
