40-year-old former champion to leave WWE after a decade citing backstage frustration? Potential scenario explored

One of WWE's top stars might soon be on his way out of the Stamford-based promotion. The star in question is none other than Kevin Owens.

The Prizefighter recently turned heel following the Bad Blood Premium Live Event, attacking his friend Cody Rhodes. There is a possibility that this heel turn could ultimately lead to Kevin Owens leaving WWE.

Owens' current contract is set to expire in early 2025. Given his position on the card, there’s a possibility that he might be frustrated with his standing backstage, especially since there has been a delay in him signing a new contract.

With the potential of his departure looming, WWE may have turned him heel to set up one final program where Owens could put over Cody Rhodes at a major event, possibly Survivor Series later this year.

Former WWE host Matt Camp says Kevin Owens could reignite rivalry with former tag team partner

Kevin Owens has shocked the fans in recent weeks by turning heel and betraying both Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton in consecutive weeks.

Former WWE host Matt Camp has speculated that Owens could soon reignite his rivalry with another close friend, Sami Zayn. Zayn, who won't take kindly to Owens' recent actions, may find himself embroiled in a heated feud with KO once again.

With rumors suggesting a possible reunion between Zayn and Roman Reigns down the line, this situation could set up a major program between Owens and Zayn.

"I know someone who wouldn't be too happy about that. Someone who took his frustrations out on Cody Rhodes outside of his bus last Saturday. Someone who last night interrupted the show, who got Cody to come out and confront him. And someone who is not happy with Randy Orton either. You think Kevin Owens will be happy if Sami Zayn ended up with Roman Reigns, and dare I say, could that lead to yet another Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn feud? It's a possibility," Matt Camp said.

It will be interesting to see what the Stamford based promotion has planned for the former Universal Champion moving forward.
