WWE Universe could be up for a huge shocker heading into Wrestlemania 39 regarding one top talent, Drew McIntyre. Once the top babyface star of the company could be done with the company as his contract is up for renewal. The situation is so negative that rumors also claim that he could be leaving the company, altogether.
According to a report by PWInsider, Drew McIntyre’s current contract is in its final year, meaning that Wrestlemania 39 could be his last with the WWE. While no exact details have been provided, the contract should last through 2023, it appears.

The report clarified that Drew McIntyre’s contract is not up “imminently,” and there is still plenty of time to chalk out the details of an extension, but the deal is legit in its final year and it was also noted that both sides “aren’t even close’ to come to terms for a new deal. This is where it was noted that the top superstar could indeed be leaving if the two parties don’t get on the same page, real soon.

Drew McIntyre enjoyed an illustrious career in WWE
Drew McIntyre first surfaced in the WWE late 2010s, dubbed the “Chosen One” by Vince McMahon. That lackluster first run with the company ended a few years before he finally returned in 2017. When the pandemic was at its height, he was the one to carry the company’s load on his broad shoulders as the reigning WWE Champion.
Being one of the most valuable players in the WWE and a face who represents the company, Drew McIntyre seems to be an important figure whom the company would love to retain. But if the WWE fails to keep him on board then it would open up new opportunities for the wrestler to explore places like AEW and NJPW or even his previous employer, Impact Wrestling, and become a top talent to their roster.
Drew McIntyre is a former NXT and Intercontinental Champion who won the WWE Championship, twice in his second stint. Additionally, Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber win and multiple PPV headlining matches also helped to make a top superstar out of him. Only time will tell whether he stays with the WWE or go in a separate direction.
