– Dave Meltzer provided an update on Kevin Owens’ contract status, shedding light on the conflicting stories circulating within the wrestling world.
Meltzer noted that multiple sources have indicated Owens may have already signed a new deal with WWE, but these reports remain unconfirmed. According to Meltzer, “There are reports that he’s close to signing or hasn’t signed and could go to AEW in January when his deal is up. I do know that multiple people in wrestling have said, dating back to Bash in Berlin, that they believed he’s signed, but it’s being kept quiet.
