Drew McIntyre: WWE contract status and potential departure
Although Drew McIntyre’s first tenure with WWE was underwhelming, he established himself around the world before returning to the company for a second time and making a name for himself. Since then, he has become a significant member of the roster, participating in unforgettable feuds with top-tier stars such as Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns.
If Drew McIntyre were to leave WWE, it could be a significant blow to the company. According to a report by Wade Keller of PWTorch, the SmackDown star is dissatisfied with his current standing in WWE.
Keller said “We alluded to this that there’s been talk that he is unhappy with his current situation in WWE and I’m hearing it’s kind of a mix of creative and money and what kind of offer he’s getting for a renewal. It sounds like WWE is taking seriously the possibility that he is going to let his deal run out rather than agree to something that he believes is less than he deserves or less than what he thinks he has coming,”
Since joining the SmackDown brand, Drew has been its top babyface. As the Draft is slated to take place this year, it will be intriguing to see whether the Scotsman will be included in the proceedings.
