WWE has announced an upcoming show in Italy with advertisements featuring Drew McIntyre, hasn’t yet signed a new contract.
With WWE Backlash France taking place in Lyon-Decines on Saturday, May 4, 2024, a show on May 1 in Bologna, Italy has been announced.
According to the official press release for the show:
STAMFORD, Conn., February 13, 2024 – WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings, today announced that WWE Live will head to the UNIPOL Arena in Bologna, Italy, on Wednesday, May 1, 2024.
Fans attending WWE Live in Bologna, Italy, will see their favorite WWE Superstars from both Raw and SmackDown in action including “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, Randy Orton, WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY, Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Bobby Lashley, Kevin Owens, “Main Event” Jey Uso, and many more*.
Tickets and VIP packages – including Meet & Greet opportunities with WWE Superstars – go on sale this Friday, February 16, at http://www.dalessandroegalli.com/events/832/wwe-live. For more information, stick with WWE.com.
WWE Live in Bologna takes place just days ahead of WWE Backlash France at the LDLC Arena in Lyon-Decines, France, on Saturday, May 4, 2024. Tickets available from www.ticketmaster.fr.
Drew McIntyre is also shown on the official graphic for the show, as can be seen below.
McIntyre’s current contract expires some time shortly after WrestleMania 40 in early April and it’s believed he has not re-signed with the company as of yet.
He’s also still advertised for Bash In Berlin, which takes place at the end of August.
McIntyre has seemingly been setting up a feud with CM Punk, although it’ll only be able to get physical when Punk recovers from injury, which isn’t expected for a few months – another sign McIntyre may be sticking around.
Drew McIntyre will take part in an Elimination Chamber match at the event of the same name on February 24, 2024, in Perth, Australia.
Also confirmed for that match are Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton and LA Knight, with upcoming qualifiers between Logan Paul and The Miz, and Kevin Owens and Dominik Mysterio.
The winner will get a shot at Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40 in April 2024.
