WWE Superstar Kevin Owens is one of the most decorated stars in the pro wrestling industry. His in-ring skills and promos are exceptionally great. His popularity among the fans has peaked since he arrived on the main roster. He has won multiple championships throughout the years, including the Universal Championship, Intercontinental Title, US Title, and the tag team titles.
The Prizefighter has been in WWE for more than a decade now. He has faced almost every top star in the industry over the years and has had multiple character changes. He has also main evented multiple 'Manias. Quite a few fans think that Kevin has almost achieved everything he can in the global sports entertainment juggernaut. Recent reports claim his contract with WWE supposedly expires in early 2025.
Last month, a report emerged that suggested that AEW has a massive interest in signing the former Universal Champion. Some feel Kevin Owen's run over the last few years was a little lackluster. However, recent events have brought him back into the spotlight on SmackDown. At Bad Blood, he attacked his friend Cody Rhodes and turned heel. Further, he went on to attack Randy Orton on the subsequent SmackDown.
The 40-year-old star recently tweeted a clip of himself talking about WWE being unfair towards him as a part of his ongoing storyline with the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion. Could this be his exit storyline from the Stamford-based promotion? Kevin getting expelled from the company after disobeying WWE's protocol sounds like a great exit storyline.
While nothing is set in stone right now, there are speculations on who could be part of KO's top feuds if he becomes All Elite after his WWE exit. Let's take a look at a few below:
#5. Swerve Strickland
Swerve Strickland has risen as one of the most valuable assets of AEW after working hard for the past couple of years. After having a decent run in the Stamford-based promotion, he has taken his place at the top of the industry. He had a great reign as an AEW World Champion earlier this year.
If Kevin joins AEW, a feud with Swerve will possibly be a huge talking point among the fans. The former could reach even higher levels of popularity when he steps up against The Realest star.
#4. Hangman Page
Another huge star, who has been with AEW for five years is Hangman Page. He possesses an emotional aspect to his character, which the crowd connects to in all his feuds.
The Prizefighter and Hangman's rivalry, if it ever comes to it, will be remembered for years if the former signs with AEW. After being the face of All Elite Wrestling in the initial years, he seemingly failed to capitalize on the opportunity. However, in recent months, he has been involved in great storylines.
#3. Will Ospreay
The former International Champion has become a beloved AEW star in just a matter of months after signing with the Jacksonville-based promotion. His wrestling style is either highly criticized or praised. A feud with Kevin Owens could help him elevate himself to a newer level.
Also, fans feel KO hasn't utilized his complete move-set in the Stamford-based promotion in years. However, the star possesses many unique moves just like Will Ospreay. Their match will be a treat to watch.
#2. Jon Moxley
The reigning AEW World Champion has been the talk of the town since he has been involved in the new storyline, taking The BCC in a new direction. He and his faction are taking over AEW and teaching discipline to the promotion. While Moxley is indeed portraying a powerful character, Kevin Owens is known to be a rebel as he never falls in line in front of authority.
The Prizefighter feuded with Roman Reigns and his Bloodline for many years. He could bring the same character to the Tony Khan-owned promotion. The duo already have a huge history from the past to poke around and their interactions are sure to wow fans.
#1. MJF vs. Kevin Owens
The former AEW World Champion has become a megastar today from being just another wrestler. Many feel he has been the cornerstone of AEW. MJF's rivalry with Kevin Owens could draw many eyes to the promotion. He had great feuds with veterans like CM Punk and Jon Moxley.
Maxwell and Kevin Owens could have a dream feud in AEW. Both the stars are known for their ruthless promos. The former Universal Champion could be a great babyface and Maxwell could help him become one.
It will be interesting to see if Kevin Owens stays with WWE or signs with AEW.
