5 top WWE Superstars whose contracts will reportedly expire in 2022

#1. WWE Superstar Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens has held many championships since joining WWE seven years ago and is now one of the top superstars on the current roster. However, KO could now be spending his last few days in Vince McMahon's company.

In 2018, the former Universal Champion disclosed that he had signed a new five-year deal. Nonetheless, Fightful recently reported that Owens' contract will expire on January 31, 2022, instead of 2023.

According to the report, a WWE official explained that the company had restructured several contracts ahead of the pandemic. In the process, the company changed the expiration date of Owens' contract.

Over the past few months, rumors have spread that Owens could join AEW once his contract expires. Legendary manager Jim Cornette addressed these speculations on his podcast, The Jim Cornette Experience:

"There can't be any doubt that a guy like Steen [Kevin Owens] that always wanted to do exactly what he wanted to do would want to go to a company where he will be allowed to do almost everything he wants to do."

KO has been feuding with the WWE Champion Big E and Seth Rollins for the past few weeks on RAW. On the November 29 episode, he defeated Big E via disqualification to earn a place in the WWE championship match on Day 1.
