Rumors are circulating among WWE fans that top star Drew McIntyre may be on his way out of the company if a new deal is not reached soon. According to PWInsider, McIntyre’s current contract is in its final year, making this potentially his last WrestleMania with WWE.
Despite being dubbed the “Chosen One” by Vince McMahon, McIntyre’s initial stint with the company was considered lackluster before he made his return in 2015. However, during the pandemic, he became one of the most valuable players in WWE, making it crucial for the company to retain him.
While losing McIntyre would be a significant setback for WWE, it could present new opportunities for the wrestler. Other companies, such as AEW and NJPW, may be keen to secure the services of such a top talent and bolster their own rosters.
McIntyre’s possible departure comes amid WWE’s struggle to retain top stars, as several wrestlers have left for other promotions in recent years.
With McIntyre and Sheamus poised to contest Gunther’s Intercontinental Title in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania, fans will undoubtedly be closely monitoring McIntyre’s future with WWE.
