Kevin Owens, who had to leave WWE’s tour of South America early this weekend because he said he was needed by his family, thanked everyone for their support.
The outpouring of support from friends, family, fans and peers these past few days has been overwhelming.
Thank you all.
We appreciate it.— Kevin Owens (@FightOwensFight) October 23, 2017
Kevin Owens’ wife, Karina Leila Steen, also posted on Instagram that “it was one of the toughest weeks of our lives but we are OK now.”
If things are OK now, it’s possible that Owens could be back on SmackDown already tonight. WWE’s SmackDown preview mentions Owens, saying “Shane McMahon returns to deal with Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn.”
