WWE: Bayley and Rey Mysterio Up First
The clock is ticking loudest in WWE, where both Bayley and Rey Mysterio are listed as up by late 2026 — making them two of the biggest free agents on the horizon. Further out, Rusev is contracted through April 2027, Chad Gable through June 2027, and Dominik Mysterio through late 2028. Big names are locked in for the long haul: Randy Orton through late 2029, Seth Rollins at least through September 2029, and The Undertaker — who signed a 15-year deal back in 2019 — all the way through 2034. Also noted: Alexa Bliss and Kevin Owens are tied down until February 2030, with Owens’ deal potentially extended by injury time.
AEW: A Quiet 2026, Then the Big 2027 Wave
AEW’s list is front-loaded in 2026 with Ortiz (fall 2026) and Scorpio Sky, Max Caster and Anthony Bowens (all October 2026). But the real intrigue hits in 2027: Kazuchika Okada (March 2027), FTR (at least April 2027), plus Jon Moxley, Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks and “Hangman” Adam Page — all at least through 2027. Chris Jericho runs at least through April 2028, Swerve Strickland at least until 2028, and Eddie Kingston is signed all the way through December 2031. Fightful notes that deals listed as “signed multi-year” are entered two years after announcement without further clarification, and the list doesn’t account for added injury time.
TNA, NJPW, NWA and More
Over in TNA, Leon Slater, Xia Brookside and Elayna Black are all up around the end of 2026, while Moose is locked in through June 2028 on the five-year deal he re-signed in June 2023. In NJPW, Callum Newman runs at least through 2027 and Walker Stewart through January 2029, while CMLL’s Soberano Jr. is up in 2026. The tracker is updated constantly as deals are confirmed by news outlets or the talent themselves.
