Update on Kevin Owens’ Injury Status

As noted, WWE NXT Champion Kevin Owens recently underwent knee surgery, and he is expected to be out of action 4-6 weeks. Owens is reportedly already off crutches, and because WWE tapes NXT so far in advance, he will have a large TV presence while he recovers from surgery.

WWE Reportedly Very Bitter Over Young Bucks Situation

As noted, many people on social media felt Mark Henry’s line to Roman Reigns on Smackdown about “young bucks” never being anywhere was a direct shot at The Young Bucks tag team, and Dave Meltzer noted on the Wrestling Observer message board that the line was indeed a shot at the tag team.

Furthermore, it appears WWE is still very bitter over The Young Bucks turning down a tryout for the company back in 2014. We’ve noted how WWE has applied to trademark the “too sweet” hand gesture, which is used by The Young Bucks and New Japan Pro Wrestling’s popular Bullet Club stable.

WWE has taken other, subtle shots at The Bucks before, as back in February, WWE posted a “Fury” video on YouTube that was the “Superkick Party” edition. There was some chatter that this was also done to take a shot at The Bucks and apparently that is the case. The term “Superkick Party” has been used by The Bucks for some time now.
