WWE Star Drew McIntyre’s Contract Expiration Looms: Will He Resign or Become a Free Agent?
WWE fans are buzzing over rumors that Drew McIntyre’s contract with the company is set to expire soon, and negotiations for a renewal are reportedly not going well. As reported by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, McIntyre is allegedly convinced that he will not be re-signing with WWE when his contract expires.
Since his reported health issue in April, McIntyre has been absent from WWE programming, but Meltzer suggests that he is expected to make his return soon. After originally joining the company in 2007, McIntyre has been a two-time world champion, Intercontinental Champion, and tag team champion.
McIntyre’s possible departure comes during WWE’s merger with Endeavour and reports of a hiring freeze at the company. As McIntyre’s contract expiration approaches, many fans wonder if WWE will choose to negotiate later in his deal or let him become a free agent by the end of the year. Stay tuned for updates on this developing situation.
