Kevin Owens re-signs with WWE as first reported by @SeanRossSapp. 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.
Fightful Select reported that Kevin Owens re-signed with WWE before his contract expired in January. He was apparently given an "excellent offer'' that he couldn't refuse. WrestleVotes also stated that the company was eager to keep the Canadian star and could continue to give him a main-event push.

There has also been speculation that WWE gave him such a good offer that AEW would not have been able to match it. Owens is currently a part of the WWE Championship picture along with Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley. The three will have a chance to win the WWE title at Day 1, when they face the current champion Big E in a fatal four-way match.
