Kevin Owens is expected to be out of action for four to eight months with his upcoming knee surgery, according to Dave Meltzer in The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
WWE shot an angle on Monday's RAW with Bobby Lashley turning heel and injuring both of Owens' knees to write him off of TV. While there was a report from POST Wrestling that the hope is that the knee surgery will be a minor procedure, Meltzer noted that the full damage won't be known until his knee is opened up. While it's hopeful that Owens will just need his knee to be cleaned out, it is possible that he will need major surgery.
Owens has been working with the bad knee for a while. Since debuting in 2014, Owens has not had to take any substantial time off due to injuries.
If Owens needs major surgery, he is expected to be out for eight months, while the timetable is four months if the procedure is minor.

Honestly, this could be a huge blessing for his career. He comes back as a pissed off, nasty dude like he debuted in nxt. For now, just hopeful the surgery goes well.

Honestly, if he has to be injured this is the perfect time of year. Get a break away from tv and heal up and be back in time for Mania season where everyone will be jacked to see him. If it’s an 8 month stint then aim for MITB and think long and hard about him winning a case he probably should have won this year.
KO is a super important part of the show for me, specifically from a character perspective. He’s really broken up quite a bit of the monotony of the past few years with segments. I miss his dynamic with Jericho. I think he’s one of the very few guys on WWE’s roster who knows exactly who his character should be in every situation. I think there is a reason he’s one of the very few NXT stars who has had the opportunity to live up to most of his potential. Even with that, I think he has a level we still haven’t seen yet.

He’s been treated as a joke for most of the year so it’s not like they’re loosing a major piece to Raw. I love the guy but he desperately needs to come back as the serious prize-fighter he was when he debuted.

Aw man that sucks... eventhough there is not much space for him on Raw anyway.

I'm seriously going to miss him and he's a huge part of Raw in my eyes.
It would be awesome if both he and Sami Zayn returned on the same night.

There's never a good time to be injured. But I think Owens could use a break. Come back as an angry face looking for revenge. Maybe him & Zayn can return together to go after Lashley & Rush?

with the way his character has been dragged through the coals as of late, it’d be good for him to have some distance before he gets fully bray wyatt’ed

Let him and Zayn comeback together and win tag titles at WM.

wouldnt be surprized if in four to eight months he come's back and is randomly inserted in some sort of story line as the heel not even recognizing that he was kayfabe injured by lashley. i could be wrong but i doubt it, i hope they do some sort of build up for his come back rather then it be a surprise

I've read it's a bit up in the air about how bad it can be. Hope it's nothing serious

Bah, losing KO for at least four months is brutal. May not even bother recording Raw at this point.

I agree with the majority of people in this thread. If ever there was a time to get injured and take some time away it's this. When he returns they'll have no choice but to stick a championship on him

Sad to see how badly he's being mangled over the last couple years. Hopefully he comes back as quickly as possible and can get back on some sort good path.

Bring him back with Sami under masks and go for the Tag Titles. It would be awesome to see them at their best, and it's not like either has that high a singles ceiling with Da Big Dawg around.
