In this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer wrote "Not sure why (Kevin) Owens isn’t around" in regards to KO's continued absence since WrestleMania as he hasn't been on TV apart from a taped promo that was recorded by his wife. As it turns out, Owens is actually recovering from a fractured ankle and that would be the reason he hasn't been used. According to a source, the injury is not considered serious and Owens is expected to be back in action relatively soon.
On the status of AJ Styles, he's completely fine but has been held off of TV after being "buried alive" following the Bone Yard Match against the Undertaker at WrestleMania 36. He'll be back soon...
Roman Reigns has also been off TV for several weeks, dating back to before WrestleMania. Some online reports indicated that he has "backstage heat" presumably for missing the PPV but this is completely untrue. WWE has indeed avoided mentioning or referencing him on TV, but that is only because they're not sure when he will be back (perhaps not until WWE resumes holding events in front of an audience) rather than any sort of dissension. One source confirmed to me that WWE is definitely not forcing any of its talents to attend the events at the Performance Center.
