In a recent turn of events within the WWE, the news surrounding Kevin Owens' rib injury brings some relief to concerned fans. Following an intense match on WWE Raw, speculations are now circulating that Owens' absence from the ring may not be as prolonged as initially feared.

The injury angle occurred during a gripping bout that saw Kevin Owens and his best friend, Sami Zayn, secure a momentous victory at WrestleMania 39. The duo claimed the WWE Tag Team Championship, finally putting an end to The Usos' record-breaking title reign.

For over three months, Owens and Zayn have been dominating the tag team division, successfully defending their titles against all challengers. However, a recent episode of Raw took an unexpected turn for Owens. While Sami Zayn was busy battling for the NXT North American Title against "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, disaster struck for Owens.

Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley of The Judgment Day, seeking vengeance or perhaps just seizing an opportunity, mercilessly attacked Owens near the entrance. As a result of this brutal assault, Owens was seen writhing in pain and selling a rib injury.

This allowed Dominik Mysterio to capitalize on the distraction and secure the win over Zayn.

Kevin Owens' Rib Injury Update

Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer provided some insights into Owens' condition, confirming that the rib injury is genuine.

However, there's a glimmer of hope as reports indicate that the injury may not sideline Owens for an extended period. Apparently, Owens had been persevering through the pain of a fractured rib for some time before the Judgment Day attack, which may have inadvertently given him a much-needed opportunity to take time off and heal.

Despite the positive outlook on Owens' recovery, the injury is bound to have some consequences for the dynamic tag team. It is highly likely that Owens and Zayn won't be participating in the much-anticipated SummerSlam event on August 5th, which is one of WWE's most significant shows of the year.

Fans will undoubtedly miss witnessing their electrifying presence in the ring, but the priority is to ensure Owens' swift and safe return to action. As the WWE universe eagerly awaits further updates on Kevin Owens' progress, speculation is rife on how the tag team title situation will be addressed in his absence.

The dynamics of the division may undergo a shift, offering fresh opportunities for other teams to rise to prominence. For now, all eyes remain on Owens as he focuses on recuperating from the rib injury. His tenacity and resilience have been evident throughout his career, and fans can only hope that he makes a speedy recovery, returning stronger and more determined than ever before to continue his path of domination within the WWE.
