Drew McIntyre has committed his future to WWE by signing a new contract, ending months of uncertainty about his professional path.
The news was confirmed by The Rock on Instagram, who announced that “The Scottish Warrior” would remain with the company after prolonged speculation.
As a token of appreciation, The Rock gifted McIntyre a genuine Scottish claymore, symbolizing McIntyre’s deep connection to his family and country.

Negotiations for McIntyre’s new contract reportedly began in March 2024 and were finalized just before The Rock’s public announcement. Media outlets had previously reported that McIntyre’s contract was set to expire in about a month.
The negotiation process involved some back-and-forth discussions between WWE and McIntyre, culminating in a deal that reportedly left the former World Heavyweight Champion satisfied. Family considerations were integral to the agreement, as most of McIntyre’s relatives reside in Scotland.

The details of McIntyre’s new contract include a substantial financial package spanning multiple years. WWE is expected to extend similar contract offers to other high-profile superstars like Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, whose deals are also nearing expiration.
The Rock’s Instagram post conveyed his admiration for McIntyre’s integrity and values, referencing a previous conversation they had after McIntyre’s WrestleMania match.
The gift of the Scottish claymore was a personal touch reflecting McIntyre’s character and national pride.
Currently, McIntyre is focused on regaining the World Heavyweight Championship while navigating his ongoing feud with longtime friend Sheamus. Additionally, he seeks retribution against CM Punk for costing him a title opportunity at WrestleMania XL.
