The question regarding whether Drew McIntyre will stay or leave WWE has been on the minds of plenty of fans for months.

Lead up

The belief has been McIntyre will sign a new deal with WWE as his existing deal expires after WrestleMania 40. Drew will challenge World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.

As previously reported, Mcintyre has told those close to him that he still hasn’t locked in a new WWE deal, but those in WWE are working under the understanding a new deal will be reached. However, his family will play a big role in his decision.

Belief

The former WWE Champion decided months ago, before turning heel, that he wanted to try out his current character, and if it didn’t work out, he would take time off to spend time with his family and see what was next for him.

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer wrote, “I know the expectation in the company is he’s signing a new deal and the feeling he knows given everything staying is the best thing for his career now.”

McIntyre recently told NewsDay that he's enjoying his run, and this is the most exciting time in wrestling since the Attitude Era.
