WWE has a deal behind the scenes with 38-year-old ex-World Champion; big plans for him at WrestleMania must happen, believes Matt Morgan

Wrestling veteran Matt Morgan believes WWE has struck a deal with Drew McIntyre behind the scenes with regards to the superstar's contract renewal.

McIntyre initially joined the Stamford-based company in 2007. However, he was released from his contract seven years later. In 2017, The Scottish Warrior returned to the promotion to become one of the top superstars, winning the WWE Championship twice. Nevertheless, the 38-year-old's current contract reportedly ends in a few months. According to the latest updates, he has yet to sign a new deal.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding McIntyre's future, The Scottish Warrior has received a significant push lately on RAW. Last night, he defeated Senior Money in The Bank Damian Priest in the main event of the Red Brand.

On Gigantic Pop, Matt Morgan discussed McIntyre's future. The veteran believes the former champion has a deal with the company behind the scenes. Meanwhile, he urged the promotion to "have something big enough for him" at WrestleMania.

"I have a feeling they have a deal behind the scenes agreed upon is my opinion. I do. With Drew, I'm saying. I do think therefore they've gotta have something big enough for him at 'Mania," he said. [20:15 - 20:28]
