With the WWE contracts of Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Becky Lynch, and Seth Rollins due to expire later this year, one other person whose current deal is up in 2024 is Finn Balor.

Wrestling Inc. founder Raj Giri took to X to state that Balor's contract is up after WrestleMania XL:

Finn Balor's WWE contract is up after #WrestleMania . The word I've gotten is that he hasn't been approached to renew yet

Fightful Select has since added that, while the Judgment Day man's deal is indeed expiring this year, sources close to Finn claim the contract isn't up immediately after 'Mania. Instead, Balor's deal will run out "within a few months" of this year's Showcase of the Immortals.

In terms of Finn having not been approached by WWE about extending his tenure with the promotion, that's something which has also been the case for other talents whose contract is expiring.

A former WWE Universal Champion - and current Undisputed Tag Team Champion - Finn Balor has been with the market leader since 2014, having initially been assigned to the NXT brand after having made a name for himself in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
