One of the most trusted employees of the current roster is suffering from an injury. If the current reports are to go by then Kevin Owens is the latest victim of the injury bug. This might be the fourth active WWE Raw roster member who is dealing with the unfortunate consequence. Sami Zayn, Sasha Banks, and Alexa Bliss are the other three names in this list.
Kevin Owens featured in a match against Bobby Lashley on the October 8th episode of WWE Raw. This was a singles contest after coming up short at Super Show Down. Owens and Lashley digested a big defeat at the hands of the super team formed by John Cena and Bobby Lashley. The latter one received another opportunity to beat the hell out of Owens on WWE Raw.

Shocking the world, Bobby Lashley turned heel on the show. This led to a massive beatdown on Kevin Owens causing an injury. It was evident to happen as his babyface character was up to no good since the get-go. This, in turn, started the rumor that we might get a babyface turn for the victim. But the potential turn came to an abrupt end.
An injury is the primary reason behind the same, as noted by WWE.com. They have given an update that the Prizefighter is dealing with a knee injury. You might have noticed that Bobby Lashley targeted his knees for the most part of the beatdown. So it was not hard to predict that he had to leave the arena with a ruptured knee. Later, several sources provided updates on his condition.
Interesting story of Owens’ debut
John Pollock of Post Wrestling confirmed that Kevin Owens was dealing with the knee injury for quite sometimes. So the beating of Bobby Lashley was just a set up to portray it as a storyline. This helped the officials to write him off the TV courtesy of this angle. Updates are also available for the timespan that Owens might miss.
Update on Kevin Owens quitting WWE Raw
Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that Kevin Owens will have to undergo a surgery. At this point, it will be a minor surgery in his knee. But doctors might perform further diagnosis on him in the near future. If it turns out to be a major surgery then he might have to stay out of the scene for eight months. This could cause him missing Wrestlemania, next year.
Latest updates from the social media confirmed that Kevin Owens has already done with the needed surgery. The timespan of his hiatus is still not available. However, we assume he is not coming back until Wrestlemania season picks up in 2019.

Kevin Owens sitting out of WWE Raw is a devastating news for the officials. He has been a constant name be it on the main event scene or mid-card. His absence means the bonafide heel present on the flagship show will exist no more. We wish a speedy recovery to the former Universal Champion. His best friend, Sami Zayn is also on the shelves for 9 months due to a shoulder injury.
