The Young Bucks' recent Twitter bio update got fans talking as it seemed like a direct hint towards Kevin Owens' possible AEW move.
The Bucks updated their bio to 'mrow,' which stands for 'Mount Rushmore of Wrestling' - a faction that featured Kevin Owens, The Young Bucks, and Adam Cole back when they performed together on the independent circuit.
Kevin Owens even referenced his WWE contract status during the most recent episode of RAW, and his promo fueled speculation of his departure.
WrestlingNews.co reported that Kevin Owens' contract expires at the end of January 2022, and he will be eligible to appear on AEW TV as soon as February next year.
"Owens' WWE contract is set to expire at the end of January, and there is nothing indicating that he plans on staying. At this point, all signs point to him making the move to AEW. Since his contract expires at the end of January, he could appear on AEW TV as soon as February 1st," noted WrestlingNews.co.
Kevin Owens: “I'll keep fighting for 3 more months or 3 more years"

However, KO still has three months left on his WWE deal, and the company will definitely attempt to re-sign the former Universal Champion.
Will Kevin Owens extend his WWE contract, or will he choose to reunite with his former 'mrow' stablemates in AEW? Only time will tell.
