Backstage News On How WWE Is Carrying Out Contract Extension Talks
WWE are tying down talents to new contracts
WWE have recently been in the midst of contract negotiations with some of their biggest stars, with the likes of Charlotte Flair, Dominik Mysterio, Rey Mysterio, and Bayley all putting pen to paper on new deals.
Whilst reports have suggested that WWE have entered contract talks to stop big names entering the free agent market and potentially negotiating with AEW, a new report from PWInsider Elite has suggested that there is no list of priority re-signings for WWE, with WWE approaching talents whose deals are expiring sooner rather than later rather than going after specific talents in order to tie them down.
These new contract talks have come about after WWE’s merger with UFC under the TKO holdings umbrella was finalised, with the sports entertainment powerhouse now bigger than ever before.
Several of the talents who have already re-signed are believed to have agreed to big-money multi-year deals - some reports suggesting five-year deals have been optioned - whilst the likes of Becky Lynch, Drew McIntyre, and Seth Rollins are entering the final months of their current deals in the first half of 2024.
