"Pay the guy" - Veteran urges WWE to offer top star more money to prevent possible departure

Wrestling veteran Konnan recently urged WWE to offer Drew McIntyre a better contract to convince him to stay.

The Scottish Warrior initially joined the Stamford-based company in 2007. He spent about seven years as a regular competitor before getting released from his contract in 2014. Three years later, the 38-year-old returned. He has since become a top superstar, winning the WWE Championship twice.

McIntyre's current contract reportedly ends in early 2024. According to recent reports, The Scotsman and WWE are yet to agree on a new deal.

Speaking on Keepin' It 100, Konnan urged the Stamford-based company to pay McIntyre what he wants to renew his contract.

"Bro, they have the money, just give it to him, you know. So, he looks like a star, acts like a star, comes off like a star, good looking, gives great matches, cuts good promos, has been in the system for a long time. You can use him to draw, you know, the UK and the surrounding areas. He has so many pluses, you know. And he held the title for a while and did not do a bad job. He was always into putting in the work and he did it in a very hard time during the pandemic. Yeah, pay the guy, you got the cheese," he said. [From 01:03 - 01:35]
