Owens has been sidelined since the buildup to WrestleMania 41, when he had to withdraw from a match against Randy Orton due to a neck injury. However, he has been participating as a coach on season three of WWE LFG.

The NXT Great American Bash 2026 is scheduled to take place at the WWE Performance Center this Sunday, starting at 7 PM ET. The event will air live on The CW in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally. The tailgate and watch party will begin at 6 PM ET.
