The free agent class of 2024 might be the biggest in years.
Drew McIntyre, Becky Lynch, Alex Hammerstone, QT Marshall, Dustin Rhodes, Deonna Purrazzo and others have all been confirmed as having deals coming up in 2024. There’s another big name that currently has a deal set to expire in 2024 – World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
Fightful has learned that Rollins’ in June of 2024, and as of a couple of weeks ago, there haven’t been discussions regarding a contract extension. As you can imagine by his placement on the card, Rollins is well-liked and respected within the company, and we’re told that there will “obviously” be an offer made at some point, with WWE sources even indicating that he’d be made a priority.
When asking a WWE official, we were told “we would not dispute that information” as it pertains to his contract being up next year, and that Rollins would be made a priority.
WWE re-signed numerous talent to new deals in 2019 when AEW launched, locking numerous into long-term, five year deals that are up in 2024. We’re unsure if Rollins was among those.
Fightful did reach out to Rollins, but have not heard back. As things stand, both Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch’s WWE deals are up in June.
