Top WWE Star Didn’t Know If He Wanted To Still Be In The Ring Before Re-Signing

WWE

WWE star Kevin Owens has said that he wasn’t sure whether he wanted to compete in the ring before re-signing with the company.

Owens re-signed with WWE in December 2021, which surprised many who expected him to join former Ring of Honor colleagues in AEW.

Upon re-signing with WWE, Owens was put into a programme against retired WWE legend Stone Cole Steve Austin.

Now in an interview with Wrestlerant, Owens has revealed that he wasn’t sure that he wanted to continue wrestling at all:

“Uh yeah by Christmas time last year I knew I was sticking around. But before that, I really had no idea. I didn’t even know, honestly I didn’t even know at that time if I still wanted to be in the ring.

“You know, not because I didn’t enjoy being in the ring anymore but everything was kind of up in the air. Then I made the decision to stay in WWE and I’m certainly glad I made it because like I said, just the year I’ve experienced things that I couldn’t have imagined.

“I’ve been really lucky to get to be a part of all that but also as far as my mindset goes, it’s definitely changed. I used to always want more and I used to always want bigger and worry about what’s next and stuff and I really don’t do that anymore.

“Not that I don’t want more, everybody would like more, it’s great. I’m really more worried about just doing good stuff and stuff that people enjoy and I’m also worried or thinking about just enjoying everything I can enjoy.

“I’ve said in interviews in the past, I’ve missed out on enjoying moments I really should have enjoyed because I was always worried about what’s next. I’m not gonna do that anymore, I’ve had an incredible career that I’m so lucky to have. So many matches, so many moments that people would give anything they could to have [them].

“So I just wanna enjoy everything I can from here on out for as long as I can. My mindset’s definitely shifted, but I think this one’s a lot healthier. It’s probably gonna help me be a better performer as well.”
