Wrestlemania 40 will be the biggest premium live event waiting on WWE’s part, next year from the city of Brotherly Love. Without a doubt, all the top billings from both Raw and Smackdown rosters will be there on the show and that spree of names might also include Drew McIntyre whose immediate status with the company seems uncertain.
In the latest update on the top WWE Raw Superstar, PWInsider noted that WWE isn’t in a huge hurry to sign him to a new contract. They have more time to do it after adding time to his deal. That being said, it’s safe to assume that McIntyre isn’t going anywhere from the WWE until Wrestlemania 40 arrives.

“We were also told that the company had not rushed to lock McIntyre into a new deal as they had time to work on it, with one source noting that with McIntyre having taken time off earlier this year, there was additional time added to his contract,” the source revealed in their report.
“PWInsiderElite.com is told that the company has McIntyre now locked in until around WrestleMania 40, so that now gives the two sides in the area of seven months to finalize a new deal.”

McIntyre needed to take time off after WrestleMania 39 following a triple-threat match and the company has now tacked those months onto his deal, extending it to Wrestlemania 40. So, for the time being, McIntyre should continue to prominently feature on WWE TV angles in the coming months.
