5 WWE Superstars that have contracts expiring in the next 12 months

#4 Former WWE Divas Champion Paige

Former WWE NXT Women's Champion Paige's story might still have some chapters left before she hangs her boots.

The British star is seen by many as a pioneer of the "women's evolution" in WWE. Her matches in the early years of NXT against the likes of Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Emma are still spoken about to this day.

The night after WrestleMania XXX in 2014, Paige made history by debuting on the main roster and winning the WWE Divas Championship from AJ Lee.

This was a landmark moment as she became the only superstar in WWE history to hold the NXT Women's Championship and the Divas Championship simultaneously, all at the age of just 21.

Unfortunately, the British star suffered a serious neck injury in December 2017 and was forced to retire from in-ring competition. She made the announcement official in April 2018. Since then, she has held numerous on-screen non-wrestling roles in WWE.

Paige recently stated that she is working towards an in-ring return at some point in the future. The former Divas Champion also revealed that her contract expires in June 2022.

#3 Former WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens

Since signing with WWE in 2014, Kevin Owens has become incredibly successful and highly popular among fans.

KO is a former NXT Champion, Intercontinental Champion, Universal Champion and United States Champion. Owens has also participated in fantastic storylines with the likes of Chris Jericho, Sami Zayn, and Roman Reigns during his career.

A staple of his WWE tenure has been his versatility in portraying any role that WWE needs him to. Owens has been a serious heel, a comedic heel, an underdog babyface, a tag team wrestler, talk show host, and much more. He is an asset to the company and the higher-ups will try their best to retain him.

However, it was recently reported that Kevin Owens' WWE contract is set to expire in January 2022. Reportedly, the expectation is that Owens will depart the promotion once his contract expires next year.

Of course, a lot can, and will, change between now and then. But could Kevin Owens' WWE days be coming to an end soon?
