Stick around for a bit. The wrestling world has been in a complete state of flux over the last year and a lot of that is due to the rise of AEW. For the first time in a long time, WWE wrestlers have another major promotion to go to and it has offered them several more options. Some wrestlers seem ready to take their chances, but you never know what some people might be thinking.
Over the course of the year, several WWE wrestlers have signed new deals with the company, albeit after teasing a chance at leaving to go somewhere else. That makes for some interesting times and you never know who might be walking out the door next. Some moves seem to be obvious, but there may be a few surprises left to throw out as we enter into the new year.
According to Tom Colohue of Sportskeeda.com, the contracts of Rusev and the Revival are coming up and all three are expected to re-sign with WWE. Rusev signing is considered a matter of time and the extra exposure from his current storyline with Lana and Bobby Lashley has made it even more of a likelihood. Then there is Revival, who are expected to re-sign as well, as WWE does not believe that AEW can sway them away from the company. It is not clear when any of the contracts expire.
They have all been busy as of late. Check out their recent actions:
Opinion: Rusev sticking around would not surprise me in any way, but the Revival doing the same would be the biggest surprise of the year so far. It has seemed as if WWE has gone out of their way to humiliate the two of them and Revival has not seemed happy either. Maybe they can be convinced to stay and stranger things have happened, but it would be quite the surprise.
Do you think Revival will re-sign? What is next for Rusev? Let us know in the comments below.
