Those Young Bucks certainly like to have fun on Twitter, and now it appears as if the former AEW Tag Team Champions are teasing the AEW arrival of Kevin Owens.

Yesterday saw KO take to Twitter and post 43.8791, 103.4591, which just so happens to be the coordinates for Mount Rushmore. Before signing with WWE in 2014, the Prizefighter - as Kevin Steen - was in a stable alongside The Young Bucks and Adam Cole that just so happened to be named Mount Rushmore.

Following that, Owens updated his Twitter location to read "Almost There". Since then, it's been reported that the Canadian's WWE contract is due to expire in January 2022 after his previous five-year deal - signed in 2018 - was restructured during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As for how Nick and Matt Jackson come into this, they've now updated their own Twitter bio to show "There" as their location.

Of course, many are tying the Bucks' "There" to KO's "Almost There" and to the soon-to-be-expiring WWE contract of the one-time Universal Champion.

Throw in how three-quarters of Mount Rushmore are now in AEW following Adam Cole's recent arrival, and it's easy to see why some are starting to think that Kevin Owens joining Tony Khan's promotion is looking like a genuine possibility - whether that's alongside his old buddies or up against them.

It goes without saying that Kevin Steen the person and the performer would thrive in All Elite Wrestling. Whether that happens - and whether than happens as soon as early next year - remains to be seen.
