Kevin Owens' WWE contract expires in January 2022

[#1 pick]

It’s not about one guy. When you have a stacked roster with talent, that brings in people too.

Look at a lot of these posters that gave up on Wrasslin years ago. AEW is bringing them back with the recent additions of Punk and Danielson. It’ll only continue as AEDub rolls on into 2022.

As someone who gave up years back, I have been impressed with the E to a degree in the last year at least overall.

I guess your expectations are low.

Bob and Roman been standouts, but that’s all that comes to mind.

More to the point about 'needle moving' ... it wasn't just that WCW had Hogan, Macho and Hall/Nash to go with Sting and Flair. They were all important but the biggest piece that had them winning the war was an extremely hot story line with the nWo

So AEW having Punk and Bryan is a big deal as far as viability goes but they need hot stories to cont. momentum.

They couldn’t even come up with a good story for CM Punk. It was just hey guys I’m back lol.

AEW only cares about putting on good matches for their hardcore marks who are already gonna tune in week after week regardless.

So his contract was restructured because of the pandemic

Wwe should be glad they locked up shinsuke and cesaro this year. Jeff hardy signed an extension last September, ricochet signed in 2019 but his could have been restructured too.

Someone pointed it out though, why would he tease jumping to aew 5 months before his contract is up? Does he wanna be a jobber for the remainder of his run? Maybe a tactic to get max amount of dollars? Maybe he done don't give a shyt?

But if I'm wwe Im focusing on homegrown talent. Austin theory, montez Ford, big e, omos, bordeaux, liv morgan, Rhea Ripley, carmelo hayes, odyssey jones

Making KO a jobber now wouldn’t hurt him at all, it’s too late. They’re better off taking him off tv

Wrestling fans alone aren’t enough though. You need casual fans as well.

Hope he stays in wwe

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

KO, Sami, Gargano, Ciampa, Ricochet and Finn Balor will all likely end up in AEW

I hope not. I don't want that grizzled looking hermit near that fukking promotion

He'd be a fool to leave if we're being honest. A lot of those guys and gals looking to jump ship to AEW will be in for a rude awakening when they get there and realizing that they will be in the exact same situation as if they were in the WWE. The money just isn't there to sign everyone that will be released (contrary to popular belief) and there just isn't enough screentime for everyone to go around and be happy.

The majority of these signings just aren't going to move the needle like that ratings wise to justify the costs and get the ROI.

I think the difference is these guys can sign to AEW, work in other promotions and do their side shyt like Twitch. Most of these guys came up through the indies so they will be perfectly happy with that.

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

never understood his appeal and he uses Stone GOAT's finisher??

his skinny but fat ass should renew his contract

 

[NoMorePie]

I hope not. I don't want that grizzled looking hermit near that fukking promotion

I don't even think he will go there unless wwe fires him. He already expressed his desire to stay in nxt so he doesn't have to travel and put wear and tear on his broken down body

This shyt is like when Pinky and the Brain started up World Domination Wrestling in EWR. Just taking up all the talent, and really it would be no surprise if he leaves. AEW is becoming Death Row Records.

Wrestling fans aren’t enough?

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