In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided an update on Drew McIntyre’s WWE status as it’s been widely known that the Scottish Warrior’s contract was set to expire after WWE WrestleMania 40.
It is believed within WWE that a new agreement will be reached eventually. McIntyre won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40 (Night Two) only to lose it to Damian Priest, who cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase moments later.
Meltzer wrote, “McIntyre’s deal expires in late May. It actually expired time wise at the end of 2023 but they tacked on several months due to time off for an injury. Those in WWE expect he’s signing noting, seeing it as enough of a given he’s being advertised on shows post contract expiration. The feeling was that while he had talked of taking time off if not creatively fulfilled, that he very much is now and is seen as one of the company’s top full-time wrestlers with Rhodes and Rollins. There is also the belief WWE talent is less likely now to opt for AEW.”
