WWE.com posted that Kevin Owens has left WWE’s current tour of South America early for “personal reasons.” Owens wrestled in Buenos Aires last night, but won’t appear on the remaining three shows on the tour.
There have been rumors that there’s an illness going around, with Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt reportedly out with viral meningitis, but this might be completely unrelated. Here’s WWE’s post:
Kevin Owens not appearing at Argentina, Chile Live Events for personal reasons
Kevin Owens left Buenos Aires today and will not appear at the remaining Live Events in Argentina and Chile this weekend, WWE.com has learned.
Though Owens did perform at Luna Park for Thursday night’s Live Event in Buenos Aires, he has left before the remaining Live Event dates scheduled in Argentina for tonight, and at the Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile, this Friday and Saturday, due to personal reasons.
