Summary
A couple of weeks before SummerSlam, WWE doctors finally cleared Kevin Owens to wrestle after scans showed the healing they had been waiting for following surgery.
Owens said repeated scans had kept coming back short of expectations, and as recently as a month ago he believed his career might be over.
That clearance set up his surprise SummerSlam Night Two return, where he won the No. 1 contender match and earned a title shot against CM Punk.
The 17-month comeback followed what Owens described as an almost career-ending injury, with family, friends and WWE medical staff helping him through the uncertainty.
