Kevin Owens released his frustration during an interview on a podcast.

WWE fans were plunged into sorrow when Kevin Owens announced he would no longer be part of WrestleMania 41 due to neck surgery. Kevin Owens might have acted deranged recently, this news hit everyone like thunderbolts. He has given 25 years to WWE and revealed being a professional wrestler takes a toll on your body and it’s his time to pay.

Kevin Owens told everyone that he has been facing issues with his neck for four months now and doctors finally figured out the problem. The doctors have advised him against participating in professional wrestling matches. He will undergo neck surgery and might be out of WWE for an indefinite amount of time. His match against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 41 has been officially canceled now.

Kevin Owens unhappy with the leak of his injury

Kevin Owens in a podcast revealed that the news of his injury was leaked and it devoided him from his right to tell people. He claimed he informed people beforehand that the news might leak, and they assured him they would keep it confidential, but it still got leaked. He also stated that it was leaked by an office person who shouldn’t know it in the first place.

Kevin Owens was upset about the leak and said. “Now they took away my right to tell people because now everybody knows already.” He also confirmed on the podcast that he received the injury somewhere in a match in January claiming his scans in December were normal.

Kevin Owens was kind enough to come on My Mom's Basement and share a little bit more about the neck injury that is forcing him out of WrestleMania this morning….

He has been part of a ladder match against Cody Rhodes at Royal Rumble and an unofficial unsanctioned match against Sami Zayn at the Elimination Chamber. This would have only aggravated his neck injury as there were numerous instances in these matches when he landed brutally on his neck. WWE Universe wishes him a speedy recovery and hopes we see him compete again soon in the near future.
