A significant update about former WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens has come forward, with AEW expressing interest in him. Recently, Owens faced Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Bash in Berlin, where he suffered a loss. Many fans speculated that Owens would turn heel and attack his opponent after the match, but that did not happen.
With Owens back in line for another championship opportunity, he teamed up with Randy Orton last week on SmackDown to face A-Town Down Under in a tag team match. A few weeks ago, he provided a significant update on his WWE contract as he prepared for this next chapter.
Before his bout with Cody Rhodes at Bash in Berlin, the former WWE Universal Champion shared an update on his WWE contract. In May, he revealed that his contract would expire in early 2025. During an interview, he confirmed that the timeline remains unchanged. However, he stated that he now has less time left on his current contract. As Owens’ contract expiration approaches, recent reports highlight ongoing negotiations with WWE, while AEW continues to show interest in him.
Kevin Owens in contract discussions with WWE amid AEW interest
A new report from Fightful Select reveals that Kevin Owens’ status with WWE remains unchanged. He has not yet signed a new deal. However, WWE has approached him with a new contract. The report indicates that Owens’ current deal is expected to expire at the end of 2024.
Owens, who has been with the promotion since 2014, has made significant moments in the promotion over the past decade. From headlining WrestleMania back-to-back to bringing Stone Cold Steve Austin out of retirement, Owens has achieved remarkable accomplishments in WWE.
However, reports from Fightful Select indicate that AEW can be expected to make him an offer if he becomes a free agent and leaves the promotion. Now, only time will tell what Kevin Owens will decide for himself: will he stay with the promotion or bet on himself and join AEW?
