Kevin Owens to Return at WWE Night of Champions 2025 and Help John Cena? Twist Explained |
The John Cena vs. CM Punk rivalry is set to explode once more at WWE Night of Champions 2025, with the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line. But fans are now buzzing about a possible shocking twist—could Kevin Owens return to help John Cena defeat Punk?
🧢 John Cena’s Pipebomb Promo: A Turning Point
On a fiery episode of SmackDown, John Cena dropped a bombshell promo, targeting Punk with brutal honesty and branding him Mr. TKO—a dig that echoed across social media. While the WWE Universe debated the promo's meaning, one unexpected response caught attention: Kevin Owens posted a photo of himself in Cena merchandise, seemingly reacting with admiration.
🔄 Kevin Owens to Return and Aid Cena?
Owens' post on X (formerly Twitter) sparked rumors of a possible surprise return at Night of Champions. With Cena walking into hostile territory in Saudi Arabia to face one of his greatest rivals, fans speculated that KO might show up to even the odds.
However, reality paints a different picture.
-
Owens is currently recovering from neck issues
-
He has not yet undergone surgery
-
The Prizefighter revealed he hopes to heal naturally, meaning a return may not happen soon
While the post may seem like a teaser, it’s more likely Owens was simply reacting as a fan and supporter of Cena’s performance—not hinting at a physical return.
🧠 Why a KO Return Is Unlikely (Yet Intriguing)
Despite the unlikelihood, WWE has pulled off medical miracles before. If cleared by doctors, even for a one-off appearance, Kevin Owens running in to counter a heel CM Punk could provide the babyface pop of the night and preserve Cena’s reign without damaging Punk’s credibility.
Still, creative plans and KO’s health status suggest this twist may remain a fantasy for now.
