In the midst of all the high-flying action and body slams, WWE’s own Kevin Owens has shared some heartwarming news that’s sure to bring a smile to the faces of fans everywhere. Ahead of WWE’s Money in the Bank event, Owens revealed that his mother had been hospitalized in Quebec with an undisclosed medical issue. Showing his true colors, Owens took a break from the ring to be by her side for five days before returning to Toronto, Ontario, for “WWE SmackDown” and Money in the Bank.
KO’s Mom Fights Back
Just like her son in the squared circle, Owens’ mother proved to be a fighter. On Thursday afternoon, Owens posted a positive update on X (formerly known as Twitter), sharing that his mother had “kicked out” of her medical scare. Alongside this encouraging news was a photo of his mother sitting up in her hospital bed, proudly holding one of Owens’ WWE shirts emblazoned with the inspiring phrase, “Just Keep Fighting.”
“She kicked out,” Owens wrote, capturing the resilience that runs in the family.
Family First, Even in Storylines
Owens’ last in-ring appearance was at the July 6 Money in the Bank premium live event, where he, Cody Rhodes, and Randy Orton were bested by The Bloodline’s Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa, and Tama Tonga. On the following “SmackDown,” Orton revealed that he had encouraged Owens to stay with his family during the hospital ordeal, showcasing the camaraderie and support among WWE superstars.
However, Owens’ absence wasn’t without consequences. In a dramatic turn of events, Tonga, Fatu, and Tanga Loa delivered a devastating triple-powerbomb to Orton through the announce table, while Sikoa mercilessly trapped Rhodes in the ring ropes, forcing him to watch. This left fans wondering when Owens will make his triumphant return to WWE programming.
SummerSlam Looms on the Horizon
As WWE gears up for SummerSlam, just two weeks away, speculation is rife about Owens’ return. With Solo Sikoa set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship, and The Bloodline likely to be lurking ringside, fans are eager to see if Owens will make his presence felt once again.
Stay tuned, WWE Universe. Whether in the ring or by his mother’s side, Kevin Owens is a fighter through and through, and his mom’s recovery is a testament to that fighting spirit.
