Fightful Maintains Updated List of Confirmed Wrestling Contract Expirations
Originally reported by Fightful: https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/confirmed-wrestling-contract-expirations.
Fightful has compiled an ongoing list featuring confirmed contract expirations reported by respected news outlets or the talent themselves, providing a centralized reference for roster status and movement. The site also maintains a constantly updated injury report, with both items discussed weekly on the Fightful Backstage Report Podcast on Fightful Select.
The expirations list is continuously updated to reflect new confirmations; where a talent is described as having “signed a multi-year deal,” Fightful lists that designation unless further clarification is provided. These resources aim to give fans and industry observers a reliable snapshot of current contract and injury information.
This list does not account for the added injury time.

Former WWE Star Reveals How Company Tests Wrestlers for an “Attitude Problem”
A former WWE star took to social media to explain, in brief, how WWE evaluates its talent to determine whether they have an “attitude problem.” The post offered a glimpse into the company’s behind-the-scenes vetting process, suggesting that behavior and professionalism are actively monitored during a wrestler’s time with the promotion.
While the explanation was limited, the revelation underscores WWE’s focus on maintaining locker-room culture and managing talent dynamics. Fans and industry observers may read the post as further evidence that character and conduct behind the curtain can be as consequential as in-ring performance.

The controversy highlights growing concerns about creative overlap between major promotions and the indie scene.
