Kevin Owens says WWE is his home

Owens confirmed he has re-signed with WWE during an appearance on Pat Laprade’s Anti-Pods de la Lutte. Owens confessed that the new contract will expire on 31st January, but not in 2022. Instead, he revealed that he’ll be staying with Vince McMahon for the foreseeable future.

He further added that re-signing with WWE was not a tough decision for him because this is the place where he has wrestled for seven years ever since making his debut for NXT in 2014. Before joining WWE, Owens wrestled for Ring of Honor.

“I will just say that it still ends on January 31, but not 2022. I will be there for several more years. The decision was rather easy because it was really the best thing for my family. When it comes to that, it’s always a fairly easy decision. The WWE has been my home for seven years, so I have a sense of belonging.”

In the end, the Prizefighter noted that he’ll be staying for the WWE for many years to come.

“Basically, I spent most of my career there. When you look at all the wrestling companies I’ve wrestled 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,” Owens said. [h/t: Whatculture]
