With that being said, it’s hard to know whether Kevin Owens’ sabbatical from the WWE was something that was always planned as a post-Hell in a Cell breather, or if it was truly a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Nothing like that has been announced by the WWE to this point, but if that is the case, surely more news will arrive in the coming days.
Owens made the announcement Monday morning, hours after his grueling PPV match with Sami Zayn.
It’s definitely possible he sustained an injury during the match that wasn’t highlighted, and only learned later after consulting with the WWE’s medical staff that he could be sidelined for a little while.
