With WWE WrestleMania 40 coming up, Drew McIntyre’s contract situation has become a hot topic of discussion among fans. McIntyre is one of the top stars in the promotion, but his current contract situation has raised questions about his future with WWE.
McIntyre’s contract, originally due to expire before WrestleMania 40, got extended after a period of absence in 2023. Now, it’s scheduled to expire after WrestleMania 40. Recently, in an interview addressing the swirling rumors about his contract, McIntyre emphasized his commitment to enjoying his time.
Meanwhile, a recent report from PWInsider has provided information about McIntyre’s contract situation. According to the report, McIntyre has shared with close confidants that he hasn’t completed negotiations for a new contract with WWE.

Drew McIntyre discusses his character shift in WWE
Drew McIntyre’s journey in WWE has been a rollercoaster of triumphs and transformations, notably his recent shift from a babyface to a heel character. McIntyre has been a beloved figure since his championship win at WrestleMania 36. However, he took a bold step in revamping his character, a move that has garnered praise from fans and wrestling legends alike.
In a candid discussion on “The Masked Man Show,” McIntyre shed light on the evolution of his character. He stated, “I’m trying to be myself, trying to be logical, trying to be fun, and create compelling TV.” He further added, “There’s no reason to shout. It’s all a case of just relaxing, and being confident, and being present. It’s finally just me relaxing, talking like a human being. Extra energy doesn’t mean shouting.”
McIntyre’s newfound approach has brought him back into the WWE Championship picture. Adding to the anticipation, CM Punk has been added as the special guest commentator for his match against Seth Rollins.
