One-half of the current tag team champion Kevin Owens has achieved everything there is to, in WWE. The superstar has won countless championships during his tenure and is on his path toward a legendary career. However, with age catching up, one doesn’t know in what capacity he’d be contributing to the business.
Now, in an explosive interview, Owens candidly talks about where he stands after his contract expires in one and a half years.

Kevin Owens shares concerning updates
Owens, who has been in the company for the past 9 years since his debut in 2014, gave an insight into his future.
While the superstar has always been optimistic about competing in the ring for another decade, his stance changed drastically in the latest interview.
According to WrestlePurists (h.t. Toronto Sun), Owens quoted: He doesn’t know where he stands beyond the next year and a half. For those unversed, his contract expires after the duration.
You can check out the tweets below:
“I look at things and I don’t know where I stand going beyond the next year-and-a-half. I know I want to be involved in wrestling.
I know I want to be involved in the WWE and I know I have a place here. I just don’t know where it is exactly.”

“I used to say I don’t see myself not being in the ring for another 5-to-10 years. & if I said it right now, I’d be lying because over the last few months, I have to admit, I don’t know if that’s true anymore.”

He also admitted he doesn’t think that his statement of competing for another 5-10 years holds true anymore, as he just solely wishes to enjoy the next year and a half.
If this is true, then it’s really unfortunate as Owens has been one of the most pivotal stars for WWE in the last few years.

Having main-evented WrestleMania twice in the last two years, Owens has consistently stood up and delivered whenever the promotion required him to. With his future uncertain, fans couldn’t help but express their worries on social media.
“Can’t be happening” Fans express their agony
Ever since the interview came out, fans have chipped in to share their thoughts on the uncertainty spilled by Owens. Voicing their opinions, fans have expressed their verdict on the internet with emotional reactions.
Most fans could sympathize with his condition and decision.
He doesn’t see him as a full time wrestler anymore after his one and a half year

He’s making the money now that allows him to be set for life, which he wasn’t before (without working 5-10 more years).
I don’t blame him for thinking about cutting back at this point. Been going hard for a long time.

He's done it all now. Main evented in 2 Wrestlemanias back to back years. He works a style that as a big man can put a hurting on you. Being on the road 300 days a year with kids and a wife is no joke.

While other fans expressed their despair and pain.
If Keven Owens retires as a one time World Champion that would be a damn shame. https://t.co/HA17aHjKye
