In the high-octane world of WWE, where the drama off the mat can be as gripping as the smackdowns on it, Drew McIntyre has finally ended months of suspense! Over the weekend, amidst the glitz and glamour, none other than The Rock rolled out the big news: McIntyre is sticking around with a fresh three-year WWE contract extension, set to last until April 2027.
Why just three years, you ask? Well, it appears McIntyre isn’t just a beast in the ring but also a brainy negotiator. Breaking away from WWE’s usual five-year lock-in strategy, McIntyre’s trimmer three-year term is being hailed as a wise move by wrestling savants Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez. It seems our Scottish Psychopath is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers!
Financial whispers haven’t echoed through the halls yet, but bets are on that McIntyre’s wallet is about to get a lot heavier, positioning him among WWE’s financial heavyweights. But it’s not all championship belts and banknotes for McIntyre.
Recently, he turned heel, stirring the pot with a feud against CM Punk that escalated faster than a count-out. After a heated exchange that saw McIntyre taunting Punk for a mishap during the Royal Rumble, Punk struck back with a vengeance at WrestleMania, leading to McIntyre losing his World Heavyweight Title in a dramatic twist, thanks to Damian Priest’s timely cash-in.
And as if the betrayal and beatdowns weren’t enough, McIntyre is now nursing a hyperextended elbow, sidelining him from house shows. Still, the fighter that he is, McIntyre will continue to grace the TV tapings, elbow and all.
So, as Drew McIntyre gears up for more high-stakes drama and heart-pounding action, WWE fans can rest easy knowing their Scottish hero is here to stay—at least until 2027. And with his strategic contract play, who knows? This might just be his masterstroke to more main-event glory.
