Kevin Owens' WWE contract expires in January 2022

[Rell Lauren]

Wrestling fans aren’t enough?

As long as arenas are being filled, merch is selling, and viewership is steady, the casuals don’t matter.

Casuals absolutely matter. Ask the NBA if they wanted a Phoenix/Milwaukee Finals. They hemorrhaged ratings compared to the 2019 Finals due to the lack of brand names.

Who said anything remotely close to any of this?

#StoogeSet has been unhinged since Sunday night

Breh these dudes tripping in here . I want the Dub to succeed on a long term status, but folks thinking that they going to get 5.0s and shyt like this is the 90s.

at Tony Tone going to keep the promotion a float for years to come if it continues to be a money pit.

His dad would clobber the dweeb with all of his Joshi tapes

Who in here is talking about ratings that high? No wrestling program is ever going to hit those numbers again.

As far as it being a money pit......

They’re getting renewed TV deals, their PPV numbers have trended upwards, their merchandise is selling better than ever AND the Khan’s money is waay longer than the McMahon’s. Signing quality talent is light work for these guys.

This. at the Coli Business community deeming AEW a financial failure.

He has a special needs child. He's going to end up with the company that allows him to be with his son as much as possible.

Yeah. I don’t see why either company wouldn’t allow this ?

 

[NoMorePie]

Well this topic seems to have derailed.

Now Trevor Lawrence added 750 million to the Jaguars bottom line. By himself at that

I don't have anything to add about Owens. Just wanted to say some of you wrestling fans/marks perpetually show yourselves to be outmanned and outgunned when you try talking about anything except the wrestling business

Just keep the talking points at ratings, who has the most momentum, better roster, etc

People ITT acting like the ultra-rich don't fukk off money on passion projects all the time. Some people have so much money they don't care if they lose some on a passion project.

Happens all the time in the entertainment industry, which is exactly what this is.

I'm putting my tinfoil hat on. I think his friends & him are playing around so they can get him some big $$ from Cokeboy. KO is a family man, and he's going to make sure his family is taken care of. WWE will give him the bag to "prevent" him from going to AEW.

 

[itiswhatitis]

The Khans don't make their money off of AEW though. The fed stinks but it's just part of their larger portfolio

AEW is literally listed as a division of The Jacksonville Jaguars. It’s a line item for them.

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Here's the thing though.... Owens is one guy that really don't have any complaints or shouldn't. Maybe he'd rather just be with some of his old buddies but creative has not failed him..

He reached the level or arguably higher in WWE of what he's worth. Salute to anyone who wanna try something different career wise tho

That whole thing with Jericho in 2017 was fukked up, though. Wouldn't be surprised if Kevin held on to something like that.

Well this topic seems to have derailed.

Everything turns into a petulant "us vs them" company faceoff on here.

Just enjoy whatever promotion y'all want and grow up.

Breh, the marks are still on a high from their little ppv this past Sunday. They will be brought back down to reality in a couple weeks when their ratings show they’re at what they were before they signed punk, db, cole.

thats not fair WWE GOT A 50 year head start!!! And aew has been here only over 2 years

 

[Fresh Prince of Evil]

Ok neither pay

People are way too attached to brands. Unless they paying you, just like what you like and don’t be a weirdo
