Drew McIntyre is one of the highest-paid WWE superstars!

Drew McIntyre looks set to remain a cornerstone of WWE for the foreseeable future. The former World Heavyweight Champion, who has been one of the company’s most consistent and respected performers, isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Recent reports have revealed that McIntyre still has over two years left on his current WWE deal, ensuring he’ll continue to be a major presence in the main event scene well into 2028.

According to a report from Fightful Select, McIntyre’s current contract with WWE runs for approximately two and a half more years, taking him through WrestleMania 2028. It was suggested that the Scottish star signed a four-year deal last year, worth over $1 million per year, a figure that places him among WWE’s top earners.

This news surfaced after wrestling veteran Vince Russo publicly invited McIntyre to perform for Juggalo Championship Wrestling once his WWE contract ended, prompting clarification from insiders about his actual deal length. In reality, McIntyre’s WWE future is secure, and he’s set to remain one of the company’s most bankable stars for years to come.

Partnership with The Rock and future WWE plans

When McIntyre signed his new deal last year, The Rock himself congratulated the “Scottish Psychopath” and even gifted him a custom sword to mark the occasion. The two have since maintained a strong working relationship, with McIntyre becoming the face of Under Armour’s Project Rock collection earlier this year, a testament to his growing crossover appeal beyond the ring.

At 40, McIntyre continues to compete at the highest level. His recent appearance at Saturday Night’s Main Event saw him fall short in an intense match against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. While the defeat was a setback, it’s clear that WWE still views him as a top-tier player, with future world title opportunities likely on the horizon.

When does Drew McIntyre’s WWE contract expire?

Drew McIntyre’s current deal reportedly runs until mid-to-late 2028, meaning he has around two and a half years remaining.

How much does Drew McIntyre earn in WWE?

According to reports, McIntyre earns over $1 million per year under his current WWE contract.
