They’re a priority. WWE has a lot of wrestlers on its roster at the moment and some of them are rather high profile stars. You can see a lot of them on television every single week and it is rather fun to see what happens to them as they continue their paths through the company. Now though, two stars might be on their way out, which has changed the way they are presented.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn’s WWE contracts are expiring soon and WWE is doing what they can to try and keep them happy. This includes giving both of them more TV time, as Owens has bee featured in a feud with WWE Champion Big E. and Zayn has been working with Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. Should they decide to leave, WWE can use them to put over other wrestlers.
There is a lot of talent there. Check out what the two of them can do:
Opinion: I get WWE’s thinking on this, but I can’t shake the feeling that it is too little, too late. If WWE cared about keeping Owens and Zayn so much, why wait until now to prominently feature them? I could see the two of them going to AEW, though at some point AEW is just going to run out of room for all of these wrestlers. It should be interesting, but I would be surprised if they stuck around.
Will WWE’s plan work? Where do you want Owens and Zayn to sign next? Let us know in the comments below.
