5 WWE Superstars that have contracts expiring in the next 12 months

#2 Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn

WWE Friday Night SmackDown superstar Sami Zayn has been one of the most entertaining characters on the blue brand over the past twelve months.

He captured the Intercontinental Championship prior to the pandemic at Elimination Chamber in 2020. After a brief hiatus, Zayn returned to SmackDown later that year, proclaiming himself to still be the "true" Intercontinental Champion.

Zayn later made this official by defeating AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy in a Ladder Match at Clash of Champions before eventually dropping the belt to Big E on the Christmas Day edition of SmackDown.

Since then, Sami Zayn has been wildly entertaining, suggesting there is a conspiracy against him in WWE. This even led to a WrestleMania match against long-time friend/enemy Kevin Owens.

Recently it was reported that Sami Zayn's WWE contract expires in late-2021. This has been somewhat disputed, with others suggesting that his contract expires in March/April 2022.

Either way, Zayn's contract is coming to an end in the next twelve months. Whilst there hasn't been any indication as to whether he will re-sign with the company, it is certainly something everyone will be paying close attention to.

#1 Former WWE Universal Champion Goldberg

WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is certainly a lightning rod of opined controversies amongst the WWE Universe.

Despite being 54 years of age, Goldberg is still a member of the active WWE roster. His most recent match came against Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam in August for the WWE Championship.

Despite losing the match via referee stoppage, Lashley's post-match attack on his 15-year-old son Gage meant that the feud was far from over.

In fact, Goldberg has said much the same, leading some to speculate that we could see him go against Lashley again at Crown Jewel in October.

Goldberg recently revealed that he is contracted to WWE for two matches per year until 2022. Meaning that his contract expires next year. Who will be "Next" in possibly the final 12 months of his career? Only time will tell.
