In a May 2018 interview with TVA Sports in Canada, Kevin Owens said he had signed a five-year deal with WWE which would keep him with the company into 2023…

“Hopefully I do not see why I will not finish my career with WWE. I just recently signed a new five-year contract with them. I do not intend to go anywhere when my contract ends. If the WWE wants to continue, if I want to continue and my family is ready for me to continue, I do not see why it would not happen.”

However, it is being reported by Fightful Select that Owens’ WWE contract is expiring “much sooner” than originally thought by the general public. The site noted the following…

“We’ve learned from a WWE official that WWE restructured several contracts ahead of the pandemic, and for whatever reason, Kevin Owens’ deal was changed to expire in January 2022. We were not told of any additional terms of the deal or specifically why it was shortened. We’ll work to find out if any other deals were adjusted.”

A screenshot of an apparent deleted tweet from Kevin Owens went viral on Tuesday. The deleted tweet consisted of coordinates for the Mount Rushmore landmark. The name Mount Rushmore was also a faction that included Owens, Adam Cole and the Young Bucks.
