If the latest reports are any indications that top WWE Raw Superstar Kevin Owens is the latest inclusion to the list of injured names. The absence would cause WWE to make big changes to Survivor Series 2022 WarGames Match from the men’s division.
KO suffered an MCL sprain at the WWE Sunday Night Stunner house show in Madison, Wisconsin, on November 13, 2022, per the reports of Wrestling Observer. This kind of injury does require four to six months to get healed and hence we won’t be seeing The Prizefighter back on WWE Raw, anytime soon.

The injury of KO isn’t the first one to make big-time changes in WWE premium live event schedule. Previously, 14-Time WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton had to take a hiatus from WWE programming due to a back injury.
The former WWE Raw tag team champion hasn’t wrestled since he was written off WWE programming after a vicious storyline assault by Roman Reigns. Orton had to undergo surgery and thus the original SummerSlam 2022 main event got canceled – Roman Reigns (c) vs. Randy Orton for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

Another top female superstar reportedly out of action
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer recently mentioned Candice LeRae as he was running down the latest episode of WWE Raw. Per the veteran wrestling journalist, Candice must be hurt, or else she could have been part of Survivor Series,
“I guess Candice LeRae must be hurt, because she was earmarked for that group, you know a couple of weeks ago, and they did an injury angle.”
Hence, the latest WWE NXT recruit on the main roster is also rumored to be dealing with an injury. Over on WWE Raw, she was supposed to be the final member of Team Bianca against Team Bayley in the Women’s WarGames Match at Survivor Series. However, she’s yet to be part of the WarGames builds on Monday nights.
