Further details on new Kevin Owens deal with WWE revealed - reports
Following the news that Kevin Owens has signed a new multi-year deal with WWE, more potential details are coming to light. Prominent Twitter wrestling news source WrestleVotes has reported on how important keeping The Prizefighter was to the company.
According to WrestleVotes, WWE had been working on getting Owens to sign a new deal for quite some time. This persistence could partly explain how the company successfully reached an agreement with him.
"Kevin Owens re-signs with WWE as first reported by @SeanRossSapp," wrote WrestleVotes. "I can add that WWE felt strongly in keeping Owens & wanted to get this deal done for a while now. I’d imagine KO will remain part of the main event scene going forward."

After letting a number of stars, such as Daniel Bryan and Adam Cole, leave for AEW, one could imagine that retaining Kevin Owens was a major priority for WWE. For several months, many fans have been expecting Owens to jump ship and sign with AEW. Instead, he's reportedly staying with WWE, where it's fair to assume that he'll continue to get pushed as a main-eventer.
