There were whispers after his summer 2022 "hiatus" that he'd quietly inked a new deal and that the bidding war of 2024 thing was just gonna be an angle they built up to once he became the heel champ.
But even if he didn't sign back then I probably would guess he signed sometime this summer, pretty much right as his face turn was being solidified. To me that's when it shifted from "OK, let's get our money's worth out of him as a top heel champ while we can" to "OK, let's turn him face and make him the main focus of the show with no real signs of slowing down"
Just feels like he wouldn't have gotten this much without the long-term commitment in-hand, but guess we'll see.
If he has signed I imagine he'll cut a promo after the World's End main event and announce in front of Long Island that he's sticking around.
