WWE: Kevin Owens Close to Returning (Update), Dean Ambrose Still Scheduled for WWE TV

Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens tweeted that he wrestled Adam Cole today at the WWE Performance Center.

I just wrestled @AdamColePro for the first time in 4 and a half years. There was exactly one spectator.

He gave it 51.25 stars. ⭐️💫🌟✨

Last month, WWE played a teaser video saying that Owens would be “returning soon.”

He underwent surgery on both knees in October and his timetable was 4-6 months, which would mean he would be ready between February and April.

But it was reported a couple of weeks ago by Dave Meltzer that even though he’s expected to be cleared soon, WWE’s plan right now is to not bring him back to TV until after WrestleMania.

Update: Owens posted this:

I appreciate people getting excited after my tweet earlier today but I’m beginning to put some furniture together in my house just now and I’m not coming back to @WWE until I’m done with that and I suck at it so I’ll see you all in a few months, maybe more.

Thank you. Take care!

Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose is working WWE house shows this weekend and is scheduled for upcoming Raw shows, PWInsider says, in case there was any doubt.

WWE said that he’s leaving in April, so he’ll still probably be on TV until then.
