Kevin Owens Shares Cardio Recovery Video Post-Surgery

Kevin Owens, the former WWE Universal Champion, shared a video update on his recovery from neck surgery on November 7, 2025, showing him engaging in cardio exercises at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. The brief clip, posted to his X account, features Owens running sprints and performing step-based drills, set to the opening of his entrance theme, and ends with a playful shot of his cat. While the footage does not include any in-ring activity, it marks the first public glimpse of his physical progress since the procedure, sparking optimism among fans about a potential return to wrestling.

Owens has been sidelined since spring 2025, when he announced on the April 4 episode of WWE SmackDown that he would miss an upcoming match against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 41 due to ongoing neck issues. The injury stemmed from a bout in January 2025, though its severity became clear only later. His final appearance in the ring came at Elimination Chamber in Toronto on March 1, where he defeated Sami Zayn in an unsanctioned match. The WrestleMania matchup was scrapped, with Orton instead issuing an open challenge that drew TNA World Champion Joe Hendry as his opponent.
