Since after his feud against Seth Rollins, who was the Messiah at the time, at Wrestlemania 36, Kevin Owens has really struggled to make his way into WWE, actually not having the greatest opportunities, despite being a true talent.
Lately, however, he was included in the titled round, in fact, he started a feud again with Seth Rollins, with the two who just can't stand each other and consequently with the WWE Champion Big E, because the architect won a titled opportunity and Kevin got in the way.
The three will compete on Day 1, the new WWE pay-per-view, which will welcome 2022 in style, as only wrestling can do because the company has decided for 2021 to conclude the slew of great events. with the Survivor Series.
Kevin Owens is a former Universal Champion
There have been multiple reports suggesting that Kevin Owens' WWE contract expires in January 2022. It looks like Owens has chosen not to renew his WWE contract. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, the first to break the news on Kevin Owens' contract, also confirmed Meltzer's report that KO's deal expires on January 31, 2022.
With this push received in recent weeks, everyone is convinced that WWE is trying to keep the Prizefighter good, trying to convince him to renew his contract which is due to expire at the beginning of the new year. But this doesn't seem to work as much, because rumors have already started circulating that they see him outside WWE.
In fact, according to the Wrestling Observer, and brought even further to the surface by CSS who reported the above, Owens was included in the match of Day 1 only to take the pin. "They also say Kevin Owens is still slated to leave WWE soon and was added to the Day 1 title match to take the pin and keep everyone else strong," the report said.
In recent months, Kevin Owens has also written a lot of weird things on social media that have hinted that he is likely to leave the company. Even his friends, The Young Bucks, who always enjoy teasing, had really involved him on social media, hinting at his possible arrival in AEW.
We just have to wait to see how he will turn out this whole story. Kevin Owens is a former Universal Champion and has had a lot of focus on him ever since he moved to RAW after the WWE draft. It was believed that the reason behind his push could be to convince him to stay with the company once his contract ends. However, the chances of that happening are low.
