WWE clarifies Kevin Owens injury status after house show appearance

"

The footage of Kevin Owens being helped to the back from WWE’s non-televised live event (aka house show) in Charleston, South Carolina yesterday (Aug. 30) has been shared in our latest Rumor Roundup and in The Feed. It was taken by local TV sportscaster Kevin Bilodeau, who also posted results and several cool pics from the WWE’s stop at North Charleston Coliseum.

This version shows how Owens may have injured his knee (by kicking Miz in the junk, it looks like), and him selling it in the ring before the Bilodeau’s video started. Full footage of the Kevin Owens apparent leg injury at today’s house show. He was limping after a superkick and during the match all the way to the finish. Hopefully it’s nothing serious. @SizzleSergeant #WWECharleston pic.twitter.com/zsmy5pmfgT — FADE (@FadeAwayMedia) August 31, 2026 And that KO was selling during the match turns out to be key. Because after PWInsider Elite reported that most talent backstage thought he was selling, Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer tweeted “no injury”. Kevin Owens is okay from what we are told. No injury. — Dave Meltzer (@davemeltzerWON) August 31, 2026 Which is great news, whether or not you’re KO greatness-recognizer.
