Not everyone can be a WWE Superstar, but no one can be a WWE Superstar forever.
News of WWE contracts has made several headlines in 2018. Ranging from Sasha Banks’ new deal to the melodrama surrounding Brock Lesnar‘s contract, we’re officially treating wrestler’s legal agreements the same way we do NBA offseasons.

With this in mind, Fightful.com just published ten names and the details of their expiring contracts.
Brock Lesnar
If recent history has taught us anything, it’s that Brock Lesnarย is a bull at the negotiation table. Maybe sitting acrossย from him are simply intimidated, or maybe Paul Heymanย actually is a shrewd advocate, regardless, Lesnarย typically gets what he wants.
The recent headline suggests that Lesnarย and WWE have a touch-and-go agreement that allows Vine McMahon to call up Lesnarย whenever he needs him. While the details of Lesnar’sย currentย deal are still hazy, we now know when it expires:
Augustย 2018
Paige
We all hope Paige would enjoy a long and decorated WWEย career, however, a career-ending neck injury has us all rearrangingย our prayers for Paige.
While she won’t be wrestling again, she does look to have scored a fruitful gig as SmackDown’sย General Manager. We don’t know exactly when her current deal expires, but we do have a clue:
2019
Mauro Ranallo
The man who some people see as the future voice of WWEย will need a new contract to manifest those big aspirations. Mauro’s deal ends in June 2019.
At the moment, Ranallo strictlyย does NXT commentary. But his talent is undeniable and, if he wants to, he’ll lead RAW’sย announce team one day.
The Miz
In February, news broke that WWE and the 8-time Intercontinentalย Championย had reached a multi-year deal. We can now confirm that the A-Lister will be around until at least 2022.
The better question, though, is how many turns with the WWEย Championship will he have by then?
Mojo Rawley
While you may not like Mojo, WWEย certainly does. The former NFLย player was part of WWE’sย 2018 contract bonanza as he inked a new deal in February.
His new contract ends in 2020.
Mandy Rose
With Absolution dissolving, Ms. Rose will try to make it own her own as a solo star. It may take a few years, but Rose may be destined for big things in WWE. She’ll have until lateย 2020 to prove herself.ย
Daniel Bryan
For the dedicated followers of WWE’s news cycle, Bryan’s expiring contract is one of the juicier subplots in wrestling right now. While it may be silly to think he’ll leave, it’s at least a fun thing to think about it. We’ll know for sure by September 2018.
Big Show
Trolls have been clamoring for Big Show’s retirement for a few years now, but the 46-year old still has money to make. While his days as a main eventerย are done, we can look for Show to stick around until Spring 2021.
Kevin Owens
Traditionalย fans may hope the KO’s contract expires tomorrow. However, the former Universal Champion signed a new WWEย deal in May of 2018.ย
The 34-year old is a made man in WWE and will be relied upon as a top villain until April 2023.
Stephanie McMahon
Obviously, Stephย will be a part of WWEย until the world ends, but her in-ring contract expires well before then (hopefully).
McMahon’s “talent” contract expires on October 7, 2019. For those hoping she’ll leave, contact Ted Turner for a WCWย reboot.
