Why Drew McIntyre might stay in WWE

As reported earlier, the cause of the differences seemed to be the inability of both parties to come to negotiable terms. While there are no confirmations whether McIntyre has come to an agreeable term with his workplace management, there are a few signs that show that he might renew his contract before its expiry.

Firstly, the promotion is still booking McIntyre as one of the top heels in the company. This is getting him the hype that he needs to build up his reputation in WWE as a top star. Apart from this, he has also been portrayed and kept as a World Title-level threat. Due to his ongoing feud, we might see him continue in the promotion even after WrestleMania XL.
