Kevin Owens has now revealed why he re-signed with WWE and who he dealt with directly to get his new deal done.
Many fans speculated on the future of Owens when news circulated that his deal with WWE was set to expire, but KO decided to re-sign for a lucrative new agreement.
Appearing on Out Of Character With Ryan Satin, the former Universal Champion was asked if it was an easy decision to re-sign and if he had any conversations with the promotion about his future.
Owens answered:
“No. I dealt with Vince McMahon directly, he made it clear he wanted me to stay, and we made an agreement right then and there. I’m a big believer that my career is going to go the way it goes, and I’m going to do the best with it. I’m there now for a couple more years. I’m going to do my best to get opportunities, I’m going to knock them out of the park, and reap the benefits. As I’ve documented before, there’s ups and downs to this thing, to WWE, to wrestling, to the industry. I feel like I’m on a really great upswing right now. I’m enjoying what I do. I’m really enjoying myself a lot lately. That’s great, and hopefully, it keeps going that way. If it eventually stops feeling that way, and I feel like I’m on the downswing, then it’s up to me to try to find a way back up. I’ve always taken that outlook, and I’m really having a great time these days.”
As previously mentioned, Owens also addressed his first time meeting Stone Cold Steve Austin and how his advice affected his career.
