Imperium, Drew, Seth, Miz & some NXT talents are all up for new contracts with a few being approved so far, according to Boozer.​

He's in a good spot for negotiations right now. The only one that may not resign would be Drew

Miz GAWD and Seth definitely re-signing.

Drew should re-sign too. I know he had his run as “the guy” but he’s still a top player

I listened to Drew's autobiography and based on that I don't think he's satisfied with what he got from his return. Is he optimitic it'll improve with another contract? I think AEW would be a worthy alternative to consider for him I think he'd do well.

Well AEW got some Punk cash off the books so I'd bet they'll at least make competitive offers as far as salary and dates. Seth I am sure they'd bend over backwards for but I can't see him leaving at all outside something unforeseen and catastrophic happening. Miz and Imperium are not going anywhere I agree as well. Drew I do think will get a look from both. I think it will come down to what WWE will be willing to pay and offer because I do think AEW is appealing to him and he is appealing to AEW as they don't really have a guy of that size with that pedigree and in ring skills. He about to get paid I think.

He will but I don't think that's a motivating factor for him. I think he'd need to know he was going to look good (not in a egotistical way). I see him tagging with Riddle and I'm just like wtf is this.

Drew just has to realise he has plenty of competition now at the top of the card, especially since he seemingly doesn't want to go heel unless circumstances really called for it (I think was the rough message he had.) He's got Seth, Cody & Jey to compete with and that's discounting KO & Sami.

He’s definitely not at the top of pecking order in terms of babyfaces like Dale mentioned.

Which is why I don’t understand why he’s so against a heel turn. It’s been almost 4 years. It might do him some good.

Seth Rollins is most likely staying in WWE. Not just for himself but for his family as well. He is in a good position for a pay day raise. Becky Lynch most likely is staying after her current deal is up. LA Knight I know for sure is getting a new deal.

Yeah, LA, Seth, and Miz feel like a no-brainer that they’ll stick around. I dunno about Drew though. I could see him sticking around but I could also see him going off elsewhere.

I’ll be honest, and maybe it’s just the the fact he needs some sort of change idk. But I’ve grown kinda meh on Drew, and I’m not sure if I want him in AEW. Now maybe it would be what he needs to get me interested again, surely if he came over and joined like BCC, but I rather he just stay in WWE at the moment. But that’s just my opinion.

If he joins AEW we’ll never see the end of the Drew Mac n Cheese/Jay White/Wheeler Yuta joke. It’ll just get worse if that happens. For that alone he should just stay in WWE

Counter point… maybe Drew’s theme won’t have a sword anymore… :hmm: then we just need the other two themes changed

Jay’s isn’t even a sword though it’s a switchblade which is a type of knife, not a sword. Yuta and Drew I get I guess but still.
