In my original post regarding Kevin Owens’ knee surgery, I noted John Pollock’s report that while the hope was that the surgery would be minor and that Owens would only miss a month or two, it’s now being reported that the injury might be a bit more serious. Reports say that those within WWE are fearing that there’s more damage to the knee than they had believed. While there’s still no official diagnosis for the Kevin Owens injury, it’s said that he’ll be out from four to eight months depending on how rehab goes. That timetable means that he might wind up missing WrestleMania, and could be suffering from an ACL tear. I’ll be keeping my ears open on this so stay tuned for more information.

John Pollock at Post Wrestling is reporting that Bobby Lashley’s attack on Kevin Owens this week on Raw was to give Owens time off for minor knee surgery. In regards to how much time Owens will miss, Pollock first reported that Owens is not expected to miss too much time, but later posted this update:

We were informed later in the day that while the hope is Owens’ knee surgery is minor, they won’t know the full extent of the injury until the knee is assessed. There is a possibility of the injury being more serious and could require a longer recovery time.
