Kevin Owens' WWE deal up sooner than later, major details

if he does switch, it could just be he wants less dates for similar money so he can spend more time with family. Bryan had the same concerns and WWE Live events are kicking back up. I think with the pandemic and people getting the chance to slow down their priorities are now changing but WWE isn't pivoting to accommodate those desires, where as AEW is on the record as asking its talent when they have holidays planned and willing to change booking for family reasons despite it being a hot angle ala Page's coronation as AEW champ.

I for one enjoy the reckless speculation and fantasy booking of one of our favorite charismatic wrestlers potentially joining one of the most exciting things in pro-wrestling in my over 3 decades of viewership. Don’t “relax” people. Freak the hell out, be fans however you want, be excited. We’ve been saddled with mediocrity for too long. Sure, not everything we speculate will come to pass, but what does it hurt anyone. Sheesh, fan how you want to fan.

i think we’re assuming he’s leaving because he’s teased it and his best friends (like cole) are running the company

Kevin Owens has been one of the most well taken care of talents in WWE over the last 7 years. Nothing really shocks me anymore after Bryan Danielson ending up in AEW but it would really surprise me if Kevin left unless there was a breakdown in contract talks. He doesn’t do twitch so that can’t be an issue. He’s been used well, he gets freedom with his promos. The only reason I can see him leaving is his friends in AEW. There’s really no other reason that I can think of Everybody on Twitter booking his entire AEW run before his WWE contract even expires. I hate to burst the bubble. Not everybody is going to leave for AEW. Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson left for admittedly different reasons, none of which really apply to Kevin. Could he leave? Sure, he could. But he’s got 4 months left and people already booking his AEW debut. Relax and just see what happens.

SRS swinging that big dick scoops energy. Not sure how or why Sami's contract status "news" is circulating with the Owens news though.

AllGoodNamesRGone

Mt Rushmore is coming to AEW

Steen and Generico are the two most wanted for me from there. Steen probably slightly ahead but ideally both together as I believe their sum of parts is worth greater than individual

David Pick

The main reason I'd see Kevin leaving is because he is a family man above everything else. One day WWE might start grinding people down 300 days a year again, if AEW could promise him (in writing) less time away from home for a still lucrative (but less) amount of money I can see him taking it.

TorchCrawler

I kind of viewed KO as a locker room leader type and a stand up person. It would be a huge loss for them imo.

e d

According to the fightful website his contract is up sometime in the fall of this year

JB

Him going to AEW would be awesome, and would reunite Mount Rushmore from PWG now that Cole is there too, but he seems like he likes it at WWE. I don’t think him or Sami would leave unless released, as much as I would love to see them both in AEW. Something tells me they both stay with WWE until they retire… but you never know these days.

Steveisnotmyname

People on the Twitter are saying Sami's is up too. Is that true?

ItsWildBoy

👀

Arthur Lopez

Sign em all, TK! Haha.

I can't imagine Kevin or Sami stick around. I guess we will soon find out. Great info, as always!

KILL STEEN KILL

Scoops

Jose

Best thing that could happen to Owen's and Zayn for that matter would be to get out as soon as they're able. Kevin is a top notch performer and I just wish he was used to the max of his potential. Hopefully he makes his way to AEW. Fingers crossed!

Brandon Hagen

mount rushmore incoming 😈

Joe Ferro

Lol

BennyIllini

Feel like this is a negotiation tactic with WWE. No reason for this tweet this early. You don't burn the WWE bridge this early (4+ months out).

DJ_Wolfman

Same here lol

Evil Jimmy Hart be like MOMMY

Trying to imagine myself as a wrestler, I can't imagine wanting to go to wwe or staying there for anything other than crates of money

jason czech

FIGHT STEEN FIGHT

3 Hours of Monday Night Dick “The Cock” Johnson

Steen would be so awesome in AEW , maybe sammy would follow 🤷🏽‍♂️

Sean Taitt

Kevin Steen to AEW confirmed *Oli Davis fist pump*

andrew hable

Oh man! I think he has to do it. And now Jericho can’t retire.

Jim La Rose

This is why I love Select

Swissroll Chris

Definitely one of those "Oh, shit. Maybe I should wait on that." moments.

David Blumberg

He's been teasing the opposite, so...

David Blumberg

I'd love to see him in AEW.

Simon Renshaw

Hoo boy

David Blumberg

We might get the Mount Rushmore of Wrestling back!!

Ian Hunter

I forgot for a second that we are in 2021, and 2022 is just less than 4 months away

Axel M

Kevin Owen's Twitter page location says almost there lol 👀😰

Colt Baudoux

Don't be weird, please. Fightful rules in part because the comment sections aren't weird loyalty warzones. Dunk on AEW if you want but going after the fans is bizarre

JB

I imagine he'll re-sign, but the *remote* possibility of a Mount Rushmore reunion will give him ample leverage for negotiations.

Rincewind

This makes me sad love him in WWE sure he will also end up in AEW then

Keep feeding him Logan Paul, 2022 can’t come any faster for him

C

Isn't Sami's almost up as well?

Jacob Donnelly

Genuinely though. They're gonna regret kicking 2point0 to the curb like that. Kev's gonna make the jump

Reece Hayes

This Patreon is the best 5 bucks I have spent in a long time.

LMFAOOOOOO

Damian Bushay

Oh my god. At least they know it expires in 4 months unlike the Adam Cole deal. Interesting times.

Jared Searcy

Are they gonna let KO slip away too?

SteveORino

Dubbalos really over bryan and cole already. It ain’t about seeing these people succeed in other places, it’s about which ex-fed guy goes to AEW, they get bored, rinse-repeat.

Welp kevin Steen to AEW confirmed

andrew evans

Just screamed at my phone with this notification. Mount Rushmore incoming yessssss

Reece Hayes

Very interesting. Wonder if/what has changed when they review contracts.

However I do think he will resign I mean I don’t think he’s being used too good but he’s not being mistreated

Jordan Lassiter

Holy mother loving fraggle rock.

Insomnia Inc

Uh oh

jon alexander

He just made the mount rushmore tweet then deleted it too, crazy

C

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

Jose Bautista

Kevin Steen is ALL ELITE

Wesley

Tyler Center

Matt Rushmore!!!!

Bryant Heath

Oh yeah, he's 100% gone. He's way too good to not be featured weekly.

Joey Suba

Hmmm

Rob Wilkins

Yeah this Patreon is really worth the $5

Interesting

😏

Missing Stafford
