WWE stars currently signed to Legends contracts

Khel Now published on 2026-10-07 a list of WWE stars who are currently signed to the promotion's Legends contract on its website. The article outlines the contract's provisions and identifies a number of former wrestlers whose deals contain differing permissions and appearance rights.

The WWE Legends contract is distinct from standard wrestler agreements and is aimed at retired performers who built their reputations during their prime and "who have contributed their best to the industry." The company signs retired legendary wrestlers into Legends deals to provide post-retirement income and to give them a cut from merchandise sales, TV appearances, and video game appearances. The contract framework allows retired performers to maintain a commercial relationship with WWE after active competition ends.

Terms vary between individual Legends contracts, with WWE permitting certain activities to some signees while restricting others. For example, the Dudley Boyz, Mick Foley and Kurt Angle are allowed to appear on other promotions, whereas the Undertaker is restricted from doing the same. These differing allowances form part of the individualized terms that separate one Legends agreement from another.

Legends contracts resemble regular contracts in that they should be renewed from time to time or be re-signed with a new deal. It is reported that Jerry Lawler's Legends contract is nearing an end by this year. Contract expirations and renewals are handled on a case-by-case basis under the Legends programme.

Some retired talents make occasional cameos or take part in short-term storylines, while many Legends appear only sporadically, often for special segments, events or promotional work. Those sporadic appearances are the primary means by which many Legends remain visible on WWE programming without holding active-roster status.
