Last weekend at the NASCAR Coke Zero 400 race at the Daytona International Speedway in Dayton, Florida injured WWE superstar Kevin Owens made an appearance as a grand marshal.
Speaking at a press scrum at the event, Owens provided a health update confirming that he had underwent neck fusion surgery last month in July while stating that the progress of his recovery will determine the future of his in-ring wrestling career.
"I needed neck fusion. It was very stressful going into it, because we weren’t really sure how severe the fusion was going to be, how many levels, all this stuff. Thankfully, the fusion ended up only being one level, which is the best-case scenario for something like this. But, you know, the surgery was successful, I had a great doctor. The thing is, now, we have to see how the bones fuse, and there’s no guarantee that it’s gonna work. Some guys had success, some guys didn’t. Fingers crossed I get to come back to wrestling in the next year. Really don’t know, though. My goal is to come back, hopefully that’s what happens.”
