The report notes that McIntyre’s contract is said to be a “multi-year, big money deal,” and other superstars with expiring deals are expected to be finished or announced.
Drew McIntyre Set To Take Some Time To Recover
Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that Drew McIntyre will not be back on television immediately. He is still recovering from a badly hyperextended elbow. McIntyre worked through the injury through WWE’s tour in the United Kingdom.
As for his new deal, Johnson notes that the two sides agreed to terms within the last week. The report notes that the video The Rock posted was shot in advance so that WWE would have something ready once the deal was complete. Johnson also wrote that the deal is a multi-year agreement.
