Moreover, McIntyre hasn’t laid hands on any championship in a long time.
Recent reports reveal that WWE hasn’t shown any inclination towards re-signing Drew McIntyre, although his tenure is ending soon. Despite being one of the biggest stars of the company, the 37-year-old has failed to get WWE’s attention. Moreover, McIntyre expressed his resentment many times regarding his creative direction. As a result, speculation started to fill the air about him taking a detour and signing with AEW once his contract expired.
On the other hand, a Twitter user posted a customized image of Drew McIntyre possibly being “All Elite.” The fan enumerated that Drew McIntyre’s WWE contract will expire in July and that AEW’s pay-per-view “All In” will take place in August. Therefore, the Twitter user hinted at the fans reading between the lines. Moreover, the fan highlighted that the pay-per-view will take place in London, UK. Therefore, the tweet drew massive attention and added fuel to the ongoing speculations and rumors.
However, Drew McIntyre’s WWE contact details are obscure as of yet. Moreover, the information about his WWE deal’s cessation is undisclosed. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how things shape up in the coming time. The fans are curious to see whether WWE re-signs the Scottish Warrior or he finally steps foot in AEW.

Drew McIntyre is reportedly unhappy with his creative booking
Despite being one of the prominent stars, WWE has not been using McIntyre to his caliber. According to reports, The Scottish Warrior is unhappy with his booking decisions in WWE. Moreover, it is conspicuous by his storylines on the main roster. WWE has been inserting him in ambivalent feuds on the blue brand.
In a recent report, PWInsider revealed that WWE pulled McIntyre from the recent episode of SmackDown. However, there are speculations that it could also be something related to his health status. McIntyre wrestled Gunther and Sheamus at WrestleMania in a grueling match. Therefore, it could also be one of the many reasons behind his absence.
According to Wade Keller of PW Torch, the 37-year-old is also reportedly crestfallen about the amount he is being offered for his contract renewal. It looks like things are shaping up in a cynical way. Not only does McIntyre look discontent about his creative booking, but he also feels underappreciated.
