**Drew McIntyre Addresses WWE Contract Status: Leaving?**
In today’s wrestling news, we delve into the uncertainty surrounding Drew McIntyre’s contract status with WWE. As WrestleMania 40 approaches, speculation about Drew’s future in WWE is rampant. His current deal is set to expire shortly after the event, leaving fans and analysts wondering if he will continue with the company.
Drew is scheduled to face Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, a match that could indicate his future. If Drew wins, it may signal a new contract with WWE. However, despite the rumors, Drew has not confirmed or denied signing a new deal. In a recent interview with The Ringer, he stated, “It’s very important to me having a new contract… There’s nothing I can say right now. I can say that I’m having fun and intend to continue having fun.”
Some believe that Drew has quietly re-signed, given his significant WrestleMania match. It’s unlikely WWE would give him such a spotlight without securing his future with the company. Fans are eagerly awaiting any official confirmation.
