Drew McIntyre to Sign New WWE Contract, Claim Reports

Drew McIntyre seems poised to extend his tenure with WWE, as hinted by his inclusion in the roster for an imminent European tour. The Scottish Superstar’s WWE journey sparked widespread speculation, especially following reports last year suggesting his contract expiration in early 2024.

Reports indicate that McIntyre’s contract has been extended following a hiatus after WrestleMania 39. Speculation has been rampant, suggesting that McIntyre’s current deal with WWE was due to expire after WrestleMania 40.

However, a significant sign of McIntyre’s continued association with WWE is highlighted by a PWInsider report. The report announces his participation in a WWE live event in Bologna, Italy, this May. The report notes, ”Interesting to note that Drew McIntyre is being advertised for the May WWE event in Italy, a sign the two signs may have come to terms on an agreement beyond Wrestlemania 40.  The expectation, as PWInsider.com has previously reported, was that his deal expired shortly after Mania takes place this April.’‘

As of now, there’s been no official confirmation from McIntyre or WWE about a renewed contract. However, his scheduled appearance in Italy strongly suggests discussions about his future with the company might be leaning toward continuation.

What’s next for Drew McIntyre in WWE: Potential storylines and matches

Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Bobby Lashley, and Randy Orton have secured their spots in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, set for the premium live event later this month. The victor of this match will face Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40.

McIntyre’s recent performances have garnered widespread acclaim. This has led to speculations among fans that WWE might be setting him up for a win in the men’s Elimination Chamber match. However, WWE has also hinted at a blockbuster tag team match at WrestleMania 40 featuring Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.

This has fueled further speculation that the match might occur on night 1, allowing Rollins to defend his title against McIntyre on night 2. However, it depends on McIntyre emerging victorious in the Elimination Chamber. Currently, Drew McIntyre is in a rivalry with Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. Also, he is scheduled to face Rhodes on Monday Night RAW next week.
