A number of WWE Superstars’ contracts are coming to an end and Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are two of such names. Being two top superstars in the company, WWE would obviously want them to stay under their banner and this is the reason why the officials are trying to keep them happy. Owing to this, these two names are also involved in important storylines, as of now.
Per the reports, WWE contracts of RAW Superstar Kevin Owens and SmackDown Superstar Sami Zayn are about to expire soon which is why they are getting more TV time, as of late. WWE Officials are in hope of keeping them happy so that they opt to re-sign with them not leave for AEW. It should be noted that Johnny Gargano and Kyle O’Reilly, the two veterans NXT Superstars opted not to renew their deals with the WWE in recent times.

WWE hopes to re-sign with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn
Here’s more from the current situation about Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a report from Wrestling Observer Newsletter,
“Owens and Zayn are the two guys people know about whose deals are due soon and obviously both do go back with The Young Bucks, Adam Cole and others to PWG and the indie scene. If nothing else, you’d think they would listen to offers.
Both being given more TV time as of late is likely due to wanting them to be happy with their push and stay but on the flip side if they don’t sign they can use them as names to put over the top people the way the booking is going.”

Kevin Owens will be a part of the WWE Championship match at the WWE Day 1 pay-per-view which is going to be a Fatal-4-Way featuring Big E, Seth Rollins, and Bobby Lashley. Ever since the trade to Raw during the Draft 2021, the Prizefighter had his screen presence increased due to the reason that WWE is aware of his deal expiry in January of next year.
As for Kevin Owens’ best friend, Sami Zayn, he is making regular appearances on Friday Night Smackdown. He recently got involved in the Universal Title picture, featuring Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. For the past two weeks, he got beaten up by the returning Lesnar on Smackdown.
