Drew McIntyre is one of the significant stars in WWE at this time. The former champion recently won the Elimination Chamber 2024 match and will now face WWE Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins for the title at WrestleMania 40. 

After Royal Rumble 2024, Drew McIntyre managed to develop a new Heel persona for himself who loves to mock people. At Royal Rumble 2024, Drew McIntyre connected CM Punk with a future shock DDT, which caused CM Punk a tricep injury, and he was forced to miss WrestleMania 40. 

WWE and Drew McIntyre are building a new character using CM Punk's injury angle. Drew McIntyre trolls CM Punk and every superstar who comes his way. 

Fans and experts highly favor Drew McIntyre in his upcoming match-up for WWE Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40. 

But there is another major problem surrounding Drew McIntyre. WWE's contract with the company is about to expire, and many WWE fans are raising questions about the former champion's future stance. Will he leave WWE if he loses to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40? 

A recent report by Fightful revealed new details about Drew McIntyre's WWE contract: "The word is that Drew McIntyre has told those close to him that he still hasn't locked in a new WWE deal. The belief is that everyone is working under the understanding a new deal will be struck, but the word out of his camp is that nothing has been signed and that whatever his next move will be, focusing on the family will be a major piece of the decision."
