WWE Backstage Reaction To Kevin Owens' Neck Injury

On the April 4 edition of SmackDown, WWE star Kevin Owens revealed that he is suffering from a serious neck injury that has taken him out of WrestleMania and put him on the shelf for an undetermined period of time.

Owens later spoke about when exactly the injury occurred, noting that he was unhappy news of the injury leaked ahead of time. The former Universal Champion was also unhappy with a comment he heard as he was exiting the arena following his promo on SmackDown and got into a verbal confrontation with a fan.

PWInsider have shed some light on how those backstage view KO's injury situation, with one source describing it as 'awful'. Another source said that the word among backstage talent was that the 40-year-old may require fusion surgery.

PWInsider reiterated that this is a real-life situation and not a work. Those they spoke to within WWE had sympathy and sadness for Owens.

The Prizefighter recently hit back at Matt Riddle, who had labelled Owens and Sami Zayn 'difficult' to work with during his time in WWE.
