News about Kevin Owens

A former WWE world champion has admitted he's not 'taking anything for granted' with his contract set to expire. The main event talent, who has spent nearly a decade with the company is one of several top stars that whose contracts are currently due to run out in the coming months. The news comes after reports earlier this week claimed WWE had released Olympic gold medal-winning amateur wrestler Gable Stevenson.

ALEX MCCARTHY: WWE came to France and set a record for gate receipts for an arena show. Luckily, they put on a card and event to match. There's no doubt that WWE will be returning to France in the coming years after one of the all-time great, raucous crowds elevated WWE Backlash to heights beyond the expected, but the stars on show delivered too. Kevin Owens and Randy Orton delivered in the opening bout the same way Cody Rhodes and AJ Styles were bound to do in the main event.

After being struck by WWE Superstar Randy Orton at WrestleMania, YouTube sensation IShowSpeed has revealed that "everything is real." On Sunday night, the online star, real name Darren Jason Watkins Jr., appeared at WWE's showcase function as part of the United States Championship Tournament. When he faced WWE big hitters Kevin Owens and Randy Orton, dressed as a bottle of PRIME. Then, the teen stood ringside in favor of Paul during the match, but couldn't avoid getting involved. Interfering in the match, much to the chagrin of multi-time champion Orton. Orton brought IShowSpeed's night to an end by stripping him of his brilliant blue bottle, lifting him to a table, and showing his signature move, the 'RKO'.

Triple H expressed his honest opinion of Logan Paul's appearance in the WrestleMania 40 tournament through slightly gritted teeth on Sunday night. Thanks to IShowSpeed's assistance, the former YouTuber secured his triple-threat match against Randy Orton and Kevin Owens at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday. As they ganged up on him, the new WWE superstar had to fight his way into the first salvo from both of his opponents.

IshowSpeed Logan Paul wins his triple-threat match at WrestleMania 40, but it came at a price. During the United States championship tournament, the YouTube star was disguised as a PRIME mascot, but revealed who rescued Paul from receiving a punt from Orton. iShowSpeed will push the Apex Predator after barking at Orton for some reason. The WWE legend retaliated by kicking the mascot over and placing him on the announce table to give him an RKO. Orton will also turn Owens' pop-up power bomb blast into another RKO, but Paul will rush to lob him into the ring post, nail a frog splash from the top rope on the still prone Owens and retain his title.

In the main event of WrestleMania 40 night two, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes will compete for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship, but it will not be under Bloodline rules. That was the stipulation that Reigns and his cousin, The Rock, obtained by defeating Rhodes and Seth Rollins on night one. Well, that means all goes. The Rock and The Bloodline will make the rules go along, but Rhodes will also enlist some outside help. Reigns' historic world championship reign has been without assistance from his Bloodline family during his matches, and he has unintentionally disqualified several celebrities along the way due to it. While John Cena, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn, men who have been wronged by Reigns, might have aided Rhodes, Triple H has now referred to perhaps the country's greatest legend of all.

Kevin Owens is still only a one-time world champion in WWE, and it's been seven years since his sole reign. Nevertheless, the 39-year-old's has been one of the company's most popular entertainers, and he regularly attends the main event. Owens' chance to headline WrestleMania against one of his idols, Stone Cold Steve Austin, was perhaps more relevant than any world title. Austin returned to the ring after 19 years and defeated Owens in a show-closer that met virtually every expectation at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas, Texas.

After being booed during a WWE media day at Optus Stadium, Logan Paul was unleashed on Perth's city. In a World Heavyweight Championship match, the pro wrestler, 28, is in Western Australia for the Elimination Chamber tournament, where he will face Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, LA Knight, and Kevin Owens. Randy Orton, the WWE legend, was speaking on stage when Paul interrupted his slot, retaining aloft his US champion belt at the pre-match media day on Friday.

For all the WWE has been able to pedal in recent months, and the elimination Chamber in Perth will no doubt add to the growing list - Vince McMahon's dark cloud has continued to loom large. The 78-year-old wrestled WWE for over 40 years before selling to Endevour and taking up a CEO role in their new conglomerate that housed both UFC and WWE TKO. However, after accusations of sex trafficking and sexual assault, he was coerced to resign from his position in TKO in January 2024. McMahon is now under federal scrutiny. He denied all allegations against him.

Owens, 39, has only earned one world title to his name. However, it could not be long before he receives some assistance in his quest for a second term or even a prodigy who would fight for glory himself. Owen, KO's son, who was inspired by his father's favorite wrestler, Owen Hart, is just 16 years old, but his stature is already outstanding at 6ft7in and 280 pounds.

Despite officially resigning from the sport in 2003, WWE legend Steve Austin has refused to rule out a spectacular return to the company. In 2022, the wrestling icon came out of a 20-year absence at WrestleMania 38, when he met and defeated Kevin Owens - but he hasn't returned to the ring since. At WrestleMania 40, rumors had emerged that the 59-year-old could make a comeback against fellow fan favorite CM Punk, and Austin seems to be keen.

WWE fans don't like non-finishes on pay-per-view, and there wasn't much different in St. Petersburg, Florida, when Logan Paul managed to keep his United States championship. Despite Kevin Owens' disqualification for using brass knuckles, the YouTube sensation retained his role. Well, Paul was the one who brought them into the match in the first place, but Owens was able to wrestle them off of him and use them himself.

In Monday Night RAW, a backstage brawl reportedly erupted after a controversies over 'clunky' spots. The six man tag main event, which featured The Judgment Day vs. Kevin Owens & Seth Rollins, resulted in a tumultuous reunion between the actors backstage. The controversy began after a number of spots in the show didn't go according to plan and was described as 'clunky' by some actors, according to PWInsider.

MCCARTHY: Roman Reigns has been holding the Universal title for 1,034 days and counting. He has been the undisputed champion of both world titles for 454 days. He is, by far, the most popular world champion in recent WWE history, and is, in effect, the most popular celebrity the company has on hand right now. However, with any long, enduring reign, thoughts are likely to shift to who will dethrone the king. Reigns is entangled, because there is a long list of opponents he has already rejected.

ALEX MCCARTHY: Fans were clamouring for a WWE tag team championship battle for Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn as soon as the two guys were on the main roster from around 2016.

His work with groupmates Sheamus and Butch has been highly praised, and he will now perform it in his home country on one of the country's biggest stages. 'It's always great to return to the United Kingdom in front of our wild supporters,' Holland remarks, a beaming smile on his face, speaking solely to Mail Sport.

Sami Zayn has been at the forefront of one of WWE's best stories in decades. Zayn's role as part of WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns captivated WWE followers, making him one of the most beloved celebrity on the roster. The tale came to a climactic conclusion at WrestleMania, when the two teammates, Kevin Owens, defeated The Usos in the main event of WrestleMania to claim the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championships. Despite this, Zayn and Owens are quite finished with The Bloodline and are now scheduled to face Reigns and Solo Sikoa with their respective titles on the line at Night of Champions later this month. Sportsmail caught Zayn's epic 2023 to review his career and talk about the WrestleMania trip.

Wrestlers are therefore doing everything possible to raise hopes of their jobs, but going outside the box will often have fans wondering if their actions are truly in character. Naturally, a lot more goes on backstage than fans would expect, but a curtain falling won't deter eager viewers from learning all about the company's secrets. Mail Sport rounds up the most recent rumors of WWE worldwide.
