Backstage news on Heath Slater's future

Heath Slater's return on WWE Monday Night RAW surprised all but the real question was his future with the company. Many fans still want him to re-sign with the company, but that does not seem to be the case right now.

According to Tom Colohue on Dropkick DiSKussions, the Slater appearance was just a one-off and he is not going to sign with the company again.

​

It was a one-time deal. It gives Heath Slater himself a payday while he's unable to wrestle elsewhere because of his non-compete clause. Now, Heath is someone who is open in saying that it was his own fault that he was released due to a lack of effort and motivation.

I still remember back in his original free agent run when he didn't get drafted to either brand, and we saw him in matches with Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar, trying to win a contract. That I felt was incredible work which really wasn't followed up on as well as they could have in my opinion.

Clearly, he's taken it seriously this time because he looks incredible. He hasn't been offered a new contract, to my knowledge, but I know a lot of people backstage who are very impressed as well the wrestlers as well. With a performance like this, it's not impossible that a new contract will be offered, that said, I'm pretty sure he already has a deal offered by another company.
