WWE's Sami Zayn talks Kevin Owens as star wrestler recovers from serious neck injury

WWE star Sami Zayn talks to Fox News Digital about Kevin Owens getting back into the ring.

Kevin Owens has been away from the ring for several months.

The last time any pro wrestling fan saw him inside the squared circle was weeks before WrestleMania 41 when he announced to the world he needed neck surgery that would keep him out of action for several months.

Owens has been seen sparingly since then. He’s featured on "WWE LFG" as a coach and recently made an appearance on the pre-show for NXT The Great American Bash.

Fox News Digital asked one of Owens’ best friends, Sami Zayn, about him in a recent interview prior to Night of Champions. Zayn said that Owens being in a spot where he could return to the ring just takes time.

"I don’t want to speak out of school sharing his medical stuff," Zayn said. "The procedure that he had just takes time. He’s going to do his due diligence – do rehab exercises and all that. But it really is a matter of time when you’re talking about fusions and those kinds of procedures, you just need time to get to where it needs to be."

Zayn added that any of WWE’s top shows – "Monday Night Raw" or "Friday Night SmackDown" – would see a significant boost in quality from Owens’ presence.
