Kevin Owens Explains Why He Chose To Re-Sign With WWE

Kevin Owens has explained why he chose to stay with WWE, following reports that he has signed a new contract with the company.

Speaking with Pat Laprade and Kevin Raphael on their TVA Sports’ podcast les Anti-Pods de la Lutte, Owens confirmed that his WWE deal is no longer set to expire in 2022.

Noting that he made his decision with his family in mind, Owens said:

“I’ll just say that my contract still ends on January 31, but not 2022. I will still be in WWE for several years, The decision was pretty easy because it was the best thing for my family, really. When it comes to that, it’s always a pretty easy decision to take. WWE has been my home for seven years now, so I have a sense of belonging.

“Basically, I’ve spent the majority of my career here. When you look at all the wrestling companies I’ve wrestled for, in WWE, that’s where I’ve been the longest. That’s where I need to be for the next few years. That’s how I felt and that’s the decision I made.”
