Summary

Kevin Owens says being away from wrestling during his recovery has only reinforced how much he still wants to stay involved in the business.

Quote from Kevin Owens

In a teaser trailer promoting the new season, Owens spoke openly about what time away from the ring has been like for him:

"I've been wrestling for 25 years. Ultimately, for me, I just want to help the next generation. Also, I don't really know what I'd do with myself if I didn't. This is all I've done since I was 15. This is what I love and have always loved. Right now, I've been off for eight, nine months, because of my neck surgery. I'm losing it. I just want to be around it."

What Owens' WWE LFG Role Says About His Current Situation

Owens being part of WWE LFG gives him a way to stay visible while he continues recovering, even with no return date announced. For WWE, it also keeps one of its most established voices connected to the product in a role that fits exactly what he described, helping the next generation while he is still out of action.

WWE LFG season three is set to premiere Sunday on A&E.
