Kevin Owens comments on his future.
Kevin Owens signed a new contract with WWE in December 2021 and commented in December 2022 that he had two years left on his deal, meaning his contract would expire in December 2024.
Owens is currently one-half of the reigning Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions alongside Sami Zayn, and has been in high profile bouts the last two WrestleMania events, headlining night one each year.
Speaking to Jan Murphy of the Toronto Sun, Owens commented on his future in wrestling.
“That’s a great question,” he said when asked what's left for him to accomplish. “I really don’t know. I used to say I don’t see myself not being in the ring for another five to 10 years. And if I said it right now, I’d be lying because over the last few months, I have to admit, I don’t know if that’s true anymore. I look at things and I don’t know where I stand going beyond the next year and a half. I know I want to be involved in wrestling. I know I want to be involved in the WWE and I know I have a place here. I just don’t know where it is exactly. Maybe it’s still in the ring, maybe it’s not. I don’t know.”
He continued, “I think for the next year and a half, my focus is just on enjoying everything I do as much as possible. There’s not really a worry about winning a title or main-eventing WrestleMania or any of that stuff anymore, which are the dreams that everybody has because I’ve been so blessed and I’ve gotten to do all of that. So I just want to have fun and I want to give people fun times to remember me by. Whether this is the end for my wrestling, I don’t know and I don’t want to sound dramatic, I don’t want to say this is a retirement speech or anything because I might still be wrestling for 10 years. I have no idea. My thought process right now is just to try to enjoy the next year and a half as much as I possibly can because I don’t know what’s on the other side. That’s really all I’m worrying about.”
Owens was taken out by Judgment Day on last Monday's episode of WWE Raw and is reportedly dealing with an injury.
It is unknown how long Owens will be out of action.
