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:

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.
