WWE has reportedly begun negotiations with Several Stars to extend their contracts. The move comes after they have been looking to solidify their roster compared to their rivals.

 

According to Dave Meltzer in his latest edition of "Wrestling Observer Newsletter" the company 

is in talks with numerous talented stars looking to extend their contracts.

 

"WWE went to a number of people whose deals are coming up over the next several months to sign new contracts. Asuka was announced publicly. There may be others but WWE did not confirm them," wrote Dave

 

Asuka's signing

 

In recent weeks, WWE has secured new contracts with several of their top superstars. This past month alone, they've re-signed U.S. Champion LA Knight and two prominent women wrestlers, Natalya and Nikki Cross. Additionally, PWInsider reports that Asuka, who is considered more accomplished than the others, has also agreed to a new deal with WWE. 

 

Though the duration of her contract isn't specified, given that Asuka is now 42 years old, it's likely to be the final contract of her wrestling career. WWE has successfully renewed contracts with Drew McIntyre, and Seth Rollins.

About renewed contracts

 

Drew McIntyre is known for his imposing presence and powerful in-ring style, first gained prominence in WWE as the "Chosen One" but saw his career take off after a significant return in 2017. He achieved major success by winning the WWE Championship in 2020, showcasing his resilience and growth.

 

Seth Rollins, on the other hand, has established himself as one of WWE's most versatile performers. Initially rising to fame as a member of The Shield, Rollins quickly became a fan favourite with his high-flying, technical prowess and charismatic personality. 

 

His career highlights include multiple WWE Championships and accolades, demonstrating his ability to consistently deliver top-tier performances. Both McIntyre and Rollins continue to be central figures in the world of professional wrestling, each bringing a unique flair to the sport.

 

Recently Former WWE host Matt Camp reported that a top superstar has signed a multi-million dollar deal with a Stamford-based company. The contract is extended for five years. While he did not reveal the name of the wrestler he claimed the details.

 

"Already I’m in amazing company with Flair, Cena, and then I’m tied at 14 World Titles with Triple H. So I’m in very good company. I would almost say that after I was given my second chance at in-ring competition, that I was satisfied. But then we had the King of the Ring. Then the finish happened at King of the Ring where my shoulders weren’t all the way down and I got an opportunity – an opportunity to face Gunther at Bash In Berlin for the World Title. And I realized, I just signed a five-year extension to my contract," Matt said.
