The post instantly gained traction, with fans appreciating Owens’ blunt and hilarious honesty. The image may have had people thinking a new-look KO was returning to WWE soon, but it turns out the camera may have just caught a flattering angle.

This comes just weeks after Owens underwent neck fusion surgery—an operation that has cast some uncertainty over his in-ring future. While he hasn’t confirmed a timetable for a return, KO has been open about not knowing if he’ll ever wrestle again. Still, fans were relieved to see he’s staying true to himself through it all.

With no set return date and a sense of humor still intact, Kevin Owens continues to be one of wrestling’s most genuine personalities—even when sidelined.
