Today we’ll be taking a look at a big developing story with Kevin Owens,
The Undertaker, and much more
Let’s start things off with the hottest
and most talked about topic over the last few days and that’s of course Kevin Owens
WWE may be losing a top star to AEW, that’s probably a headline you’re
becoming used to hearing because that’s been happening quite a lot as of late
But the next big WWE superstar now being rumored for a WWE departure is Kevin Owens
This story broke a few days ago and just took over wrestling twitter
It was reported that Kevin Owens signed a 5 year deal back in 2018,
which would’ve had his contact expiring in 2023
However, WWE restructured several contracts during the pandemic and Kevin’s contract was allegedly
one of the contracts that were restructured
Turning it from a 5 year deal to a 4 year deal, with it now expiring in January 2022
So this changes everything, Kevin Owens will be free to go
wherever he wants in only a matter of a few months
And everyone is assuming that he’s done with WWE and is on his way out, most likely to AEW
Kevin Owens has been the one adding more fuel to the fire himself
In a now deleted tweet, Kevin tweeted the coordinates of Mount Rushmore
The significance being that Mount Rushmore
was the name of the stable that included Kevin Owens, Adam Cole, and The Young Bucks
Not only that but Kevin Owens’ twitter location says “Almost there”,
What does “there” represent? Well the The Young Bucks changed their location to
“there”, teasing the idea that AEW may be the place that Kevin Owens is referring to
when he says he’s “almost there”, almost to AEW
Kevin Owens is a former universal champion, intercontinental champion,
United States champion, NXT champion and his list of accomplishments just goes on
he’s accomplished so much in WWE,
but as of late, he hasn’t really had any standout feuds or highly featured storylines
Like we saw recently on Smackdown, he’s out here doing talk show segments with Logan Paul,
probably not what Kevin Owens envisioned when he first signed with WWE
Everyone is anticipating for Bray Wyatt to be the last final piece for AEW
later this fall, but if you have Kevin Owens following
right behind him in January, that’s gonna be another huge signing for AEW
Fans are very excited about all of the possibilities
that could happen if Kevin was to join AEW
You obviously have the Mount Rushmore reunion, you could even have a reunion with Chris Jericho
and continue that relationship from WWE
Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho were even supposed to main event Wrestlemania
a few years back but a last second change made them fall down that Wrestlemania card immensely
Jericho has even talked about that situation with that match and how it really made him see
the writing on the wall and sort of played a role in his decision to sign with AEW
So if Kevin Owens joins AEW, who knows, maybe Kevin and Jericho could main event a pay-per-view
for a world title like they were meant to do all those years ago
Of course all this comes down to two things, what does Kevin Owens want and what does WWE want?
Does WWE view him as a potential huge Loss? Will they go after him and just
throw everything at him in order for him to stay or will they let him walk if he wants to walk?
Then you have to look at what Kevin Owens wants.
Does he want to tie himself down for a few more years to WWE
or does he take off to AEW come January and join his friends and all that fun over there?
Telling by Kevin Owens teasers with the coordinates and the “almost there” message,
that sort of makes it seem like he can’t wait to leave, but there’s still a lot of time left before
that contract expiration, so who knows if he could have a change of heart in these last few months
But as it stands right now, Kevin Owens seems to be the next big loss for WWE

The Undertaker is back but in a way you didn’t see coming
Netflix has just announced that the special interactive
film “Escape The Undertaker” is releasing on October 5th
They released this description for the plot:
“The Undertaker has set a trap for the decorated tag team The New Day at his mansion.
What they don’t know: The Undertaker’s mansion is an extreme Haunted House,
packed to the brim with supernatural challenges. It’s up to viewers to decide
the fate of these three poor souls trying to survive the wrath of The Undertaker.”
That’s all the details that have been released on the film
There were a few still images also released that shows The
Undertaker sitting at what seems to be the surveillance room of his haunted mansion
The room is full of camera screens,
showing that undertaker has his eyes on The New Day and the entire house at all times
There’s also some shots of Taker sitting on a throne that’s in the shape of his logo
and another image of him facing off against the new day
Telling by the plot description and these preview images, The Undertaker is going to throw
a lot of haunted challenges and obstacles at the new day during their trip to his mansion,
it’s up to the viewers to decide how this journey turns out for the new day
Critics seem to also be comparing it to WWE’s cinematic matches,
saying that it will have similar feels to what we saw WWE do in 2020
This sort of film may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it definitely is pretty
cool and an amazing alternative way to keep The Undertaker’s character around in the WWE universe
There’s no interviews yet on how this project came together and how it was to film, but you just have
to assume that taker himself was probably thrilled to jump back into character and get this underway
He might be retired from in-ring action, but if this turns out to be a huge success,
this may be a great way to keep the iconic character around without him actually wrestling
So that’s the great part here,
Undertaker fans, you have a big project to look forward to here for the character
Not to mention how interesting it’s going to be to actually see the character’s house
30 years of The Undertaker being a WWE character on screen but
we’ve never seen where the character lives and what happens at his home
According to this project, he lives in a massive haunted mansion that’s full of horrific obstacles
that he’s in control of, so just even seeing the house, possibly Easter eggs all over the place,
all of that is going to be really interesting to take in
Of course with Netflix being behind it, they probably had a more than decent budget as well,
so it’ll be great to see how much detail and attention
went into creating the home of the iconic Undertaker
So we’ll be taking a look at that again once it releases next month

CM Punk had his first official wrestling match in over 7 years
and everyone was watching, even his wife AJ
AJ took to her Instagram story to show that she was watching the event on her laptop
She posted a picture of CM Punk after the match and said
“That was stressful. You still got it CM Punk.”
She also reacted to Bryan Danielson’s AEW debut by saying
“Huge pop. Also if Kane shows up next Imma lose it”
AJ was obviously making a joke about how all her former love interests where coming over to AEW.
You had Punk, Bryan, all she was waiting for was for Kane to be out there
it was still really great to see AJ watching wrestling and reacting to it again
