#2. Hope isn't true: Kevin Owens still out of action

Kevin Owens has been out of action since WrestleMania 36, where he snapped Seth Rollins' string of victories and defeated The Monday Night Messiah. Despite this, Rollins emerged as the second WWE title challenger to Drew McIntyre (with The Big Show technically being first), while Owens has sat on the sidelines since.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Kevin Owens has been injured since WrestleMania 36 and will be out for longer:

"Regarding the Kevin Owens ankle injury, it happened at WrestleMania. The spot it happened is unknown as apparently he never felt a thing during the match and then the next day his ankle was swollen. He expects to be out a few more weeks."

We hope this isn't true because Owens had a lot of momentum going for him with that victory at WrestleMania 36. Hopefully, he'll return on time for Backlash next month and will be in an important storyline.
