Bye Owens Bye? (Rumored; Contract expires in January 2022)

[Bang Bang Bart]

Well, here we go again.

His contract's up in January, much sooner than expected.

[Deleted]

January 2022?

Oh, homie's outta here lmao. I see absolutely no way he stays. He's absolutely gonna slide over to AEW. Hell, today he apparently tweeted and deleted this.



I don't got an iphone so I'm not sure if that's how Twitter looks on there but if that's true then that's the coordinates to Mount Rushmore which can refer to the stable he was in with Cole and The Bucks before he came to WWE. He could already be hinting stuff.

[fw91]

I mean are there rumors of him leaving or just that his contract his up. January is interesting though. Could provide him with some Mania season leverage.

What I would do to see the return of Kevin Steen in ROH.

[Wieners=$$$]

Punk v. Steen.

The feud that deserves a large spotlight. The fire from their mics will engulf the planet, and make the Sun look away.

[Deleted]

Dude has mostly bored me since his horrible Universal Title reign, so it'd be nice to see him go somewhere else and rejuvenate his career.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

As I said in the other thread, he’s such a massive family man, there’d be a fair chance that he’s made a sufficient nest egg for them from this WWE run that he can just pursue the artistic fulfilment at his own pace, just like Moxley or Danielson, and get more free time to watch his kids grow up.

[Chiral]

If I remember right he considered AEW before but was waiting to see if it'd be stable cuz keeping his finances good for his family is his #1 priority.

AEW's schedule of just two live tapings per week without a house show loop could be very enticing to him.

There’s certainly time for him to re-sign considering but if I were them, and now this is out, I’d try and get something together to pitch now because, man, it won’t be long before January comes along and you don’t want to lose someone else significant that soon.

And they’d plan enough in advance that he wouldn’t be doing both that often.

OH f***

PLEASE KEV

SIGN KEV SIGN


(to AEW)

[kingoftheindies]

So you know how Adam Cole is super close to the Bucks? Well Kevin Owens said his best friends in the business aside from Sami Zayne are the Bucks, Colt Cabana, and Cole

[Dub H]

As people said,Owens is a family man above everything

I think Life for Owens is:

1-Family
2-Wrestling
















3- Everything else.

So yeh , I think there is a good chance the jumps out but I wouldnt be surprised if he stays.I'm sure Khan will pay well but Vince can pay more in the end.

[Deleted]

Also apparently Sami Zayn's contract is over in a few months too. He signed a 3 year deal in June 2018 but due to him getting injured it was extended so, it could be over before the year's done with.

Very interesting times we're in. I mean, AEW can't sign everybody so we'll see what happens.

[Koda, Master Crunchyroller]

Man, WWE are just total bumbleflubs when it comes to keeping track of the details of the contracts they have, aren’t they? This is the third major instance I can recall this year where they didn’t know the specifics of the end of contract details for a wrestler.

It’s not likely because of why they brought them but Sinclair breaking from tradition to get back Steen and Generico would be something else. And if they want to make things easier, they can open their forbidden door finally and cross over with other places too.

Not sure where that Zayn guy can go, though.

Apparently the budget cuts include not renewing the Office 365 subscription.

Since it was said in the AEW board I'll just also paste what I said there here

I have to imagine it's gonna be super difficult to re-sign Owens... it's not that he's even been underutilized... he's just DONE EVERYTHING THERE IS TO DO in WWE. Like won literally every title he can win in NXT and WWE that would inherently matter to a career. He has a shot at being a future Hall of Famer. But he's just... stale. He's done so much that I think he's bored. I can hear it and see it in just how he's acting there at this point.

I truly think he needs a change of direction while he still has prime years left. If he re-signs due to big money then I won't blame a guy who loves his family as much as Kevin does... but AEW surely could offer him a deal where he might not have to look back even if it's less.

He's close to a lot of people there. Maybe even closer than Cole which is saying a lot. It's gonna be something to monitor very closely.

He was in a faction with Cole and the Bucks known as Mount Rushmore.

Maybe we see them in AEW with the Bucks breaking away from The Elite?
