WWE veteran reflects on neck surgery and missing the ring
Summary
– Kevin Owens revealed he has been away for nearly nine months due to neck surgery
– Owens admitted he is struggling mentally during recovery and misses being around wrestling
– He joins WWE LFG to mentor the next generation while recovering from injury
Kevin Owens gave fans an honest look into his recovery process during the latest WWE LFG preview, opening up about life away from the ring and how difficult the downtime has been.
The longtime WWE star, known for his never-quit attitude and multiple WrestleMania main event appearances, is joining the new season of WWE LFG as one of the featured veteran coaches while he continues to heal from neck surgery.
Owens explained that being away from wrestling for 8 to 9 months has been mentally challenging, especially for someone who has spent most of his life in the business.
He shared that he has been wrestling for 25 years, starting when he was just 15. Wrestling has been the center of his life for decades, making the break from in-ring action even harder to handle.
Owens admitted that being removed from that environment has left him restless, saying he feels like he is losing his mind because he wants to be around people and around wrestling again.
That passion is one of the main reasons he accepted the chance to work with the next generation on WWE LFG. For Owens, helping younger talent is not just a role — it is a way to stay connected to the world he loves most.
The new season brings major changes, with Coach Bloom overseeing the Performance Center and The Undertaker handling responsibilities in AAA, creating even more opportunities for rising stars and new coaching voices.
Owens believes the WWE Performance Center gives talent every possible tool to succeed, calling it a machine built to develop the future of the industry.
While fans wait for his full in-ring return, WWE LFG gives them a chance to see Kevin Owens stay involved, share his experience, and remain close to the business during recovery.
