WWE Rumor Roundup: Legendary tag team reuniting after 5 years at Royal Rumble, Plans changed for Liv Morgan - 3rd January 2020

#3. The Revival and Rusev contract updates

The current contracts of The Revival and Rusev are coming to an end soon and as revealed by Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue in his new YouTube video, the WWE management is confident of the aforementioned Superstars signing new deals and extending their stay in the company.

Rusev is yet to sign a new deal but the belief is that he should put pen to paper in the coming days. His contractual status is one of the reasons why WWE has pushed him heavily on RAW and signing him to a new deal is a top priority.

Everything I’m hearing so far about new contracts. Now there is a couple of people I want to focus on. I have written a report in Sportskeeda saying that the signing of Rusev is a top priority now. The company and the management are increasingly confident that Rusev will sign a new contract. It’s one of the reasons they are pushing so hard with the current storyline and once we know something, we will be able to report it. But it’s really up to Rusev at this point what he wants to do, obviously, the contract, to my knowledge, has not been signed, so it’s up to him.

Regarding The Revival, Tom stated that the company is not afraid of AEW trying to attract the former SmackDown Tag Team Champions away and are again certain that Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder will renew their contracts.

In addition to that, we have the Revival, once again, increasingly confident of signing. There were discussions before the tag titles were taken away to whether or not that was a good move. Given that they are particularly confident with the company right now, in fact, the impression that I am getting is that the management is very confident that the Revival will sign a new contract. They are not particularly afraid of AEW attracting them away.
