Amid his hiatus, Owens took to social media to announce WWE’s return to Canada. The Prizefighter highlighted that the company will host three shows in his home country, including a live event:

“Hello, my name is Kevin Owens, you may know me from several wrestling matches I have had in the last 26 years or so. Not so much in the last year, I haven’t wrestled since I had a neck surgery, it was a whole thing. So anyway, since then, I have not been doing much. A lot of walking around aimlessly. But today, I have a purpose. WWE is excited to announce, so excited to announce that they asked me to announce it that WWE is coming back to Canada in August. Thursday, August 20, London, Ontario at the Canada Life Place. That’s a Thursday night for the summer tour, live event, very exciting. Next night, Friday, August 21, in Toronto, SmackDown. That’s gonna be big. Then, Monday, August 24, it’s RAW in Ottawa, the Canadian Center. So those shows are pretty exciting, big shows coming up.”

KO ended the video on an emotional note, stating that he misses the fans a lot.

“I really miss you guys and I mean that 100%”

Kevin Owens is a multi-time WWE champion

While Kevin Owens has been on the shelf for over a year, he was a prominent name for WWE before his unfortunate injury. The Prizefighter has been a part of the global juggernaut since 2014 and has won multiple times during his time with the company.

Kevin Owens was doing some of the best work of his career before he was forced to take time off due to neck issues. He turned heel in October 2024, when he attacked Cody Rhodes after Bad Blood went off the air. He was then embroiled in a feud with Randy Orton, which came to an abrupt end after the Prizefighter announced that he could not compete in the scheduled match at WrestleMania 41.

Fans have been eagerly waiting for Owens to make his in-ring return. However, there is no clear update on when he will don his wrestling boots again.
