WWE Rumors: Why Kevin Owens’ WWE contract expiring in January 2022 instead of 2023?
During the torrid COVID-19 times, WWE axed many superstars, and at the same time, they restructured several contracts in hand. The restructuring led to Kevin Owens’ contract expiration date being changed to January 2020- almost one year before the original expiration date in 2023.

WWE Rumors: Has Kevin Owens already gave signs of heading to AEW?

The Tony Khan owned AEW has been creating a buzz in recent times courtesy of their latest recruits.
