Kevin Owens road to WrestleMania 41 may be hitting a roadblock. Originally set to face Randy Orton in what was expected to be a major showdown, Owens is now dealing with an undisclosed injuryand time is running out.
According to a new report by PWN, Owens injury doesnt have a clear recovery timeline, throwing his WrestleMania match into serious doubt. WWE has reportedly discussed backup plans for Randy Orton, but no final decision has been made. Owens last match was a brutal Unsanctioned Match against Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber, and although Zayn has been absent since, Owens continued appearing on TV until recently.
Now, in a key update, Cory Hayes reported on social media: Kevin Owens WrestleMania status is expected to be addressed on TV tonight on #SmackDown. That puts fans on high alert going into the show, as WWE may finally clear the air about whether Owens will compete on the biggest stage of the year.
If Owens is officially ruled out, the big question becomeswho steps in to face Randy Orton? WWE could go in several directions, but fans are already debating whether someone like LA Knight, AJ Styles, or even Logan Paul could be a last-minute opponent.
With WrestleMania just 15 days away, the clock is ticking. SmackDown tonight may give us the answer weve been waiting for.
