A lot of talk about Drew possibly letting his contract run down. Not happy with his creative and they are very far apart on the money. Supposedly his contract is due up this summer but they could tack on time for injuries.

The full article that broke this also mentioned that none of that might be true and he is off TV because he was beat the f*** up in the Mania match.

Drew was just part of the best match of the weekend IMO. I also think he’s more valuable to wwe than anybody else, so I don’t see anybody giving a better offer than the E
 
Drew is definitely valuable elsewhere. He proved that the first time.
 
If i'm WWE i'm finding a way to keep Drew around until at least August.

Not sure it would be a smart move for his deal to run out and let him waltz right over to you know who just as they're preparing a big ass show in the UK. Drew isn't English but that would still be huge for the surrounding areas and would be a significant draw.

Orton i also suspect is done. Talk about a curse. The thing that got you over is the thing that ended up essentially ending your career in the RKO.

They just took a guy who left and came back a bigger star to main event a WM. Someone else paid for most of that investment.

They could do the same thing with Drew now that perceived competition exists. Let him become even bigger on someone else's dime, and when the time is right, return an even bigger star.

I mean he has already kind of done that. I think if he leaves, he is likely gone for a number of years at that point and would be coming back in his 40's. He is at the point he can just kind of do whatever the hell he wants. Go to Japan and be a main event level Gaijin and face Okada at Tokyo Dome? He can do it. AEW and face Omega or whoever. Or just stay in WWE.

It could just as easily work the opposite way, though. Drew left WWE once, became a big star, returned to WWE to become an even bigger star then could leave for AEW and show up to their UK show as a massive superstar, face-of-the-franchise type.

He went and worked the indies and Impact Wrestling. Sure, he brought his stock up above the jobber status he basically had at the end of his first WWE run, but I'm not sure his time in garbage promotion like Impact would qualify as making him a big star. It just put him back on the radar.

Right I mean I think it has a lot less to do with where he wrestled then the fact he left and kind of found out what he should be as a wrestler. It clicked for him. I guess I just don't see how if he chooses to leave now at 37 how building himself up for WWE again would be the goal. That is like saying when Moxley left WWE he was going to go out and build himself up to come back to WWE one day. Not that they will never go back...we have no idea and obviously with Drew it is entirely hypothetical but he is already a star, he has already main evented Mania. If he decides to leave it is likely to go main event against Okada or something and if he ever were to go back to WWE it would be in his mid 40s.

You make a good point about leaving at his age (37) then coming back in his mid 40s and past his prime. Probably not realistic.

All that being said, I don't think he'll ever be "the guy" anywhere so him showing up on AEW's Wembley show would faze me a bit if I'm WWE. He's got a lot of great tools, but he's always had a problem truly connecting with the fans, like there has always been that little something missing.
 
There's a part of me that wants to see Drew have a run in NJPW.

I wouldn't mind him re-signing and beating the f*** out of Gunther in the future, or having matches with Cody, etc. I just hope he's healthy.

It looks like complete ass. Like horrifically bad.

This is in a press conference setting, which already isn't a good place to be doing wrestling moves and is why I don't necessarily like it, because they're not wrestling. Mercedes is supposed to go to the ground when she's doing it for real.

Fair. This one looks much better, honestly.
