In the glamorous world of WWE, where contracts are as flashy as the entrance pyrotechnics, Kevin Owens has dropped a headline-worthy bombshell. As his fellow wrestling stars like Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and Finn Balor have been securing their bags with new multi-year deals, all eyes are now turning to Owens. Will he follow suit? Spoiler alert: He’s not packing his bags just yet.
During a heartfelt chinwag with The Metro, Owens, the guy who’s more resilient than a cat with nine lives, peeled back the curtain on his contract timeline. “I really don’t take anything for granted, I’ve nine months left on my contact, and I don’t know what can happen from here on out,” he admitted. This means the countdown to early 2025 is on, but Owens isn’t eyeing the exit.
This isn’t just about grappling on the grand stage for Owens. “This has been my home for 10 years and it’s beyond the locker room,” he confessed. It turns out, WWE is more than just suplexes and championship belts for him; it’s about the unsung heroes behind the scenes, the very, very, very special people he can’t bear to part with. It’s like realizing your favorite workplace sitcom is actually your life.
Reflecting on the untimely passings of wrestling legends Brodie Lee, Jay Briscoe, and Bray Wyatt, Owens has grasped that life is as unpredictable as a WWE plot twist. “Nothing is guaranteed,” he said, possibly while staring dramatically into the distance.
In the new era of WWE, under the banner of TKO Group Holdings with UFC heavyweight Ari Emanual, contract negotiations are akin to a suspense thriller, leaving everyone guessing until the last minute. Meanwhile, Owens keeps his game face on, battling it out with The Bloodline, who recently snatched victory thanks to newcomer Tanga Loa at the Backlash PLE in Lyon, France.
So, fans, rest easy! Kevin Owens isn’t ready to tap out from WWE just yet. He’s here to stay, proving that sometimes, the most thrilling battles are fought outside the ring, in the quiet moments where contracts and loyalties are penned.
