#5. Kevin Owens - A reward for renewing his WWE contract?
Kevin Owens has found himself in the headlines recently after it was revealed that he signed a new contract with WWE. His original contract was set to expire on January 31st, 2022, and there was even a rumor that he was "expected" to leave the company.
Upon confirming the news of him signing a lucrative new contract, Owens said that he was thinking of his family. As of this writing, KO is a week away from potentially becoming a world champion at the Day 1 pay-per-view.

However, with Vince McMahon's promotion's plans for Big E as the next top superstar, it seems unlikely that a title win is in Kevin Owens' immediate future. There's no doubt that it's well deserved, especially since he has come short of winning both world titles despite challenging for them on numerous occasions in the last few years.
With the company teasing a Kevin Owens-Seth Rollins partnership, we could see them find tag team success on the red brand in 2022. If not the world title, then a United States or RAW Tag Team title win is overdue for him next year.
