Kevin Owens, the popular WWE superstar, has yet to finalize a new contract with the company. His current deal is set to expire early next year, and negotiations for a new one are still ongoing. Owens, who joined WWE in 2014 and previously held the Universal Championship, will become a free agent in 2025 if a new agreement is not reached.
According to reports, Owens has been approached for a new contract, but he has not signed one yet. However, there has been communication between him and WWE regarding the matter. It has also been mentioned that All Elite Wrestling, a rival company, has shown interest in signing Owens if he becomes a free agent. They are expected to make an offer to him in that scenario.
During an exclusive interview with The Agency in Lyon, France earlier this year, Owens revealed that his current contract is set to expire in 2025. He had signed a previous extension in 2021. Just hours before the Backlash event in May, he expressed uncertainty about his future with the company, saying, "I really don't take anything for granted. I've nine months left on my contract, and I don't know what can happen from here on out."
Despite the recent departures of fellow wrestlers and friends like Bray Wyatt, Brodie Lee, and Jay Briscoe, Owens remains committed to WWE. He has been with the company for a decade and has no plans to leave of his own accord. He also mentioned that he has formed strong bonds with many people behind the scenes, and he cannot imagine not having them in his life.
One of the highlights of Owens' career was facing his childhood hero, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, at WrestleMania. He also mentioned that he does have friends in AEW, such as The Young Bucks, but WWE has been his home for the past 10 years.
While some superstars have recently left WWE, including Bobby Lashley and Ricochet, the company has been successful in re-signing others like Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, and Nikki Cross. They have also brought in new talents, such as Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer. Reports have also surfaced about WWE securing the legendary tag team the Motor City Machine Guns and the popular AEW tag team, the Lucha Bros.
