As Drew McIntyre’s WWE contract approaches its end, speculation around the wrestler’s future has been rife. According to PWInsider, McIntyre’s contract will expire within the next year, with Fightful Select reporting that it will be up “within the next nine months.” While there has been no official word from either McIntyre or WWE, the wrestler has made it clear that he intends to wait until closer to the expiration date to make any decisions, given the many factors to consider.

McIntyre is not alone in his contract expiration, as many other WWE talents are also set to see their deals end by the end of 2024. This is largely due to the emergence of AEW in 2019, which prompted WWE to sign numerous wrestlers to five-year contracts that year. However, many of those contracts were cut and renegotiated during the pandemic.

As of now, it remains to be seen what approach WWE will take in terms of contract renewals. While the company is eager to keep McIntyre, there has yet to be any confirmation of whether they plan to engage him in talks soon or wait until closer to his contract’s expiration. As the situation continues to develop, fans will be eager to see what the future holds for one of WWE’s most popular wrestlers.
