Kevin Owens will be making a special appearance at WWE NXT Great American Bash this Sunday, June 28, at the WWE Performance Center — even as he continues to sit out of in-ring action due to an ongoing injury.
The announcement came during the June 23 episode of NXT, where it was revealed that Owens will be joined at the event by Busted Open Radio’s Dave LaGreca. No further details about the nature of their appearance were disclosed at the time of the announcement.
Owens has been away from active competition while dealing with his injury, making his scheduled presence at Great American Bash noteworthy for fans who have been waiting to see the former Universal Champion back in a WWE setting. While the appearance doesn’t signal a return to the ring, it does put one of the company’s most recognizable names in front of the NXT audience at what is one of the brand’s marquee annual events.
NXT Great American Bash takes place June 28 from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. The addition of Owens and LaGreca adds an extra layer of intrigue to an event that already carries significant weight on the NXT calendar. Whether the appearance serves as a stepping stone toward Owens’ eventual return to competition remains to be seen, but his presence alone is likely to generate considerable buzz heading into the weekend.
