Sami Zayn Says Kevin Owens' Neck Recovery Needs Time After Months Out

Neck fusion recovery is the main reason Kevin Owens still has no WWE return date, with Sami Zayn saying the procedure simply "takes time" and requires rehab before he can get back in the ring.
Several months have already passed since Owens announced before WrestleMania 41 that he needed neck surgery, and his only recent WWE appearances have been outside the ring on "WWE LFG" and an NXT Great American Bash pre-show.
Zayn said Owens' eventual return would immediately strengthen either Raw or SmackDown, calling him a "one-of-one" talent whose absence leaves a noticeable hole on the roster.
Fans are still asking about Owens, Zayn said, underscoring how missed the former tag champion remains as WWE waits for his medical recovery to run its course.
