As we have been reporting for weeks, WWE wanted Drew McIntyre to return by Money in the Bank PPV. That process had been impeded according to sources by McIntyre wanting a strong storyline upon his return. WWE got what they wanted as the two sides came to an agreement over the last few days leading into the PPV.
As we reported in the Elite section of PWInsider.com during Money in the Bank, we were told by two sources that McIntyre's WWE contractual status has not changed and the two sides have not yet come to terms on a new deal or extension, so his contract is still due to expire in early 2024.
The two sides have yet to even begin discussions on that deal, partially because there's so much time left.
