Ending all the speculation over his WWE career, Kevin Owens signed a contract with the company, just a few days ago. As reported first by Fightful Select, the top superstar from the red brand has put pen to paper on a new WWE deal. It’s needless to say that this signing of the former Universal Champion gives a sigh of relief to the WWE Officials.
Previously no such update was available regarding the length and amount of the new WWE contract signed by Kevin Owens. Now, on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer has reported that the new deal will be intact for three long years and hence he will be with the WWE for the foreseeable future.

Kevin Owens received a better deal than AEW
The Prizefighter is reportedly making more money than he would have made in AEW. Some of the top superstars of AEW are definitely making such money, but that definitely isn’t making a lot of difference.
Regarding his WWE career, Kevin Owens recently spoke with talkSPORT where he revealed that Vince McMahon had originally signed him off a return to NXT after his WarGames return, a few years ago.
“Before I did the WarGames return, there were concrete plans for me to go back to NXT for an extended period before coming back to the main roster,” he stated. “At the time, Paul Heyman was in charge on RAW, and those were just plans we had. Vince [McMahon] had signed off on all of them, and eventually, he changed his mind and nothing happened.”
However, Kevin Owens continued to be on the top spot of both Raw and Smackdown for the past couple of years. He first joined WWE back in 2014, originally working on the NXT brand. During his entire career, Owens has held the NXT Championship and the WWE Universal Championship. He is also a three-time United States Champion and a one-time Intercontinental Champion.
