5 reasons Kevin Owens should've signed with AEW instead of WWE

#1 AEW is launching the Owen Hart Cup, which Kevin Owens could have possibly won

AEW announced back in September that they would launch the Owen Hart Cup tournament. It is part of a collaboration between the company and the family of Owen Hart to honor the late pro wrestling legend’s legacy. Owen's widow Martha Hart spoke about the partnership at the time stating:

“The Owen Hart Foundation is extremely pleased to partner with AEW in this wonderful joint venture to honor Owen’s substantial international wrestling career and the lasting influence he and his craft has had in the sport,” Owen’s widow, Dr. Martha Hart, said. “AEW’s Owen Hart Cup Tournament serves as a tremendous tribute to Owen and provides an incredible way for professional wrestling enthusiasts to celebrate his work in a most fitting way. We trust that Tony Khan and his amazing AEW team will do a brilliant job with this highly anticipated project. This OHF/AEW partnership is my special gift to all of Owen’s magnificent loyal fans who forever remember him and his inspiring repertoire of talents.”

Kevin Owens is, of course, a well-known Owen Hart fan. The wrestler chose his WWE name as a tribute to the Canadian legend and even named his son after him. There was speculation that The Prizefighter would jump ship to AEW and become the inaugural winner of the tournament

That certainly would have been a compelling reason to consider any offer from Tony Khan. While that doesn't seem to be a reality for Kevin Owens right now, AEW's loss is WWE's gain
