In an interview with Pat Laprade and Kevin Raphael on their TVA Sports’ podcast les Anti-Pods de la Lutte, Kevin Owens talks about his new contract with WWE.

“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 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.”

On his blog, Pat Laprade adds: “If you read between the lines, when Owens says he did the best thing for his family, it could mean that it was the financial aspect of the deal that influenced the wrestler to stay with WWE.”

The full interview with Owens will be released next Tuesday.
Lol oh he'll get that "budget cuts" release from Nick Khan no question then. That's close to what Roman is now making.

just pair KO and Sami. They done feuded them to death let them run roughshod together, Sami the lil shit talker hiding behind his bodyguard best friend.

vs Usos, New Day, RKBro, Profits, Academy, Mysterio's, hell run the Bar back and run them too.

They already kinda did this but it was short lived n they were still doing comedic shit. I wanna see them both serious and tag teaming idc if its a heel run or a face run
