Kevin Owens Shares New Mindset Ahead of WWE Return

Kevin Owens has adopted a new outlook following a 15-month absence from wrestling due to injury. His near-career-ending neck injury has shifted his focus from long-term goals to enjoying his time in the ring.

Owens was not expected to return until mid-2026, but he received clearance in July to compete again, just in time for SummerSlam, where he became the number one contender for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

In an interview with FACES Magazine, Owens spoke about his upcoming challenge against CM Punk for the title on SmackDown, which will take place in Toronto as part of a Canadian tour that includes events in Edmonton, Calgary, and Ottawa.
