WWE Has Approached Kevin Owens Regarding New Contract, AEW Has Interest

WWE is trying to get ahead up some upcoming contracts expiring.

Fightful Select‘s Sean Ross Sapp confirmed a PWInsider report this week that WWE had approached a number of talent about re-signing ahead of their deals expiring. This method is a far cry from what we’ve seen throughout a good part of the year. In one case, Damian Priest’s deal was set to expire right around the time he renewed.

Specifically, WWE source tells Fightful that Kevin Owens has been approached for a new contract. We’re told that Owens has not signed a new deal as of yet, but communication has been made. His contract is expected to be up at the end of the year.

Those that we spoke to in AEW said that the company has long had major interest in bringing Owens in when and if he’s available. They’re expected to make him an offer if he reaches free agency.

WWE have re-signed Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, Natalya, Humberto Carrillo, Angel Garza, Cedric Alexander, Nikki Cross and numerous other talent in 2024.
