After much speculation about his WWE future for months, Drew McIntyre recently signed a new deal for big money with WWE that will keep him under contract for the next three years.
While in talks, the belief was that a deal would be made in the end, which was the case as he is doing what many consider to be the best work of his career as a heel. Coming out of WrestleMania, McIntyre remains on television but is not working house shows due to his dealing with a hyperextended elbow in his WrestleMania match.
In a new interview with The Daily Mail, McIntyre discussed his decision to stay with the promotion.
McIntyre said, “Being happy, at this point of my life and career all that matters is I’m happy and I can get time with my family that I’ve not had for 20 years. When it comes to creative, I can only control the controllable. As we’ve seen, almost for the past couple of years, there’s been a lot more leeway given to talent, a lot more collaboration. It’s been awesome, as you can see across the board. A lot of people breaking out and an opportunity for myself to show what I can truly do.”
McIntyre continued by noting that it will always be a case of rolling with the punches and challenges, but he knows he’s in his prime and won’t stop wrestling now.
