WWE Offers Kevin Owens New Contract Amid Speculation of Potential AEW Interest
WWE is proactively approaching talent with expiring contracts, including former Universal Champion Kevin Owens. Owens has been offered a new contract but hasn’t re-signed yet. His current deal is expected to end in January, three years after his last contract renewal. While WWE has successfully re-signed several stars like Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, and Seth Rollins, there’s uncertainty surrounding Owens’ decision.
The situation gains interest following Ricochet’s recent move to AEW after his WWE contract expired. AEW has reportedly shown interest in Owens, given his history with Ring of Honor (now owned by AEW’s CEO Tony Khan) and his connections to AEW executives. Owens previously admitted feeling tempted to join AEW but chose to stay with WWE due to Vince McMahon’s influence. However, McMahon’s recent departure from WWE amid controversy may impact Owens’ decision this time around.
