Kevin Owens thanks the WWE Universe for their Support

WWE Superstar Kevin Owens made his return on Friday night SmackDown.

His return wasn't actually expected as Owens was out of action due to an injury.

But fortunately, he made his comeback to WWE.

Owens joined the Brawling Brutes in their fight against Roman Reigns and the Bloodline.

He will be competing at next weekend’s WarGames premium live event against the group.

After SmackDown, Owens took to Twitter to thank the fans for their support.

"Seeing the response to my return and how much you guys missed me being on your tv screen is truly humbling."

"You all made last night a career highlight for me and in return, I promise to always give you guys everything I have."
