While it’s well-known withing the Internet Wrestling Community that Brock Lesnar’s contract is set to expire shortly after WrestleMania 34, he isn’t the only WWE Superstar who’s contract is coming up.

According to Fightful.com, both The Big Show and Daniel Bryan’s contracts are set to expire next year — The Big Show’s in February and Daniel Bryan in September. It is very possible that Bryan leaves the company to return to the indie circuit and The Big Show may take on an ambassador or backstage role.

In regards to 2019, Paige and Mauro Ranallo’s contracts will run out if they are not renewed. While Paige’s exact expiration date is unknown, Ranallo’s expires in June of that year.

We’ll keep you updated if we hear anything else regarding other WWE Superstar’s contracts expiring.

Coming off the announcement of JBL stepping down from the SmackDown commentary team, many fans have speculated that Mauro Ranallo would be returning to the announcers booth for the blue brand as his replacement.

Mauro addressed the speculation on Twitter when a fan asked him if he would be returning to SmackDown Live. Here is the exchange:

@mauroranallo, so you are hinting that you will be on #SDLive soon?! I'll mark out if that happens! https://t.co/Iyl342qzXd

WWE apparently wants CM Punk to return to the company, according to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

While speaking about Mauro Ranallo’s return to the company, he wrote about how some people will leave the company on horrible terms but most end up returning. Meltzer wrote, “That’s why, no matter what is said, WWE wants C.M. Punk back and even though Punk was adamant about never doing it, history tells you time heals a lot of wounds.”

Despite WWE wanting Punk to return the company, he apparently has no intentions on it according to his wife, AJ Lee. During her recent book tour, AJ Lee said that she misses wrestling but her husband does not. It’s also worth noting that Punk is still going through a legal battle with WWE’s doctor Chris Amann, so it looks like a return anytime in the near future won’t be happening.

Mauro Ranallo announced today via his Instagram page that he would in fact be staying on with WWE, and will join the NXT announce team.

THE NXT CHAPTER BEGINS! WWE and I mutually agreed to end my responsibilities on SmackDown having nothing to do with rumors about disputes. As I remained under contract with WWE, we discussed a variety of options. Despite originally agreeing to part ways, there was always a desire to continue working together. We have come to terms on a new agreement that benefits both WWE and me, and I am thrilled to announce I will now be part of the NXT broadcasting team.

The Wrestling Observer stated that he will start his new gig right away, as he will be a part of NXT’s TV tapings this Friday night at Full Sail.

Ranallo remained under contract with WWE through August, but few thought he’d be back after his departure from the company back in April, which many speculated was due to behind-the-scenes issues with JBL. Mauro had denied the rumor that JBL was among the reasons for leaving his role as one of the voices of SmackDown Live, instead citing personal issues.

Ranallo should be a great fit for a place like NXT, as his ability to call in-ring action matches up perfectly with a show that relies heavily on the wrestling aspect of things and less on promos as the main roster shows are sometimes prone to do.
