Having been dealing with a rib injury in recent weeks, Kevin Owens has now returned to the ring.

Via the Wrestling Observer, Owens partook in a dark match after this past Friday's episode of SmackDown went off the air. There, the Toronto crowd saw KO team with Sami Zayn and Drew McIntyre to pick up a win over GUNTHER, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci.

Not just did the real-life Kevin Steen compete on Friday, but that same six-man tag also took place at last night's WWE house show from Ottawa, Ontario's Canadian Tire Centre - with Owens hitting the Stunner on Kaiser to score the 1-2-3 for his team.

Previously, the one-time Universal Champion and current Undisputed Tag Team Champion had been out of action for a month; last competing on the 17 July episode of Raw, where he and Zayn defended their Tag Titles against Judgment Day's Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio

Shortly after that tag bout, it was reported that Owens was dealing with a fractured rib. In terms of WWE programming, the Canadian was written off TV courtesy of an attack by the Judgment Day.

It's not been confirmed yet when Owens will be back on WWE TV, but one has to imagine that return could happen as soon as tomorrow's Raw.
