The Honky Tonk Man is keeping the hits coming—literally and contractually.

Ringside News can confirm through Honky Tonk Man’s camp that the WWE Hall of Famer has officially signed a new multi-year Legends Deal with WWE. This marks his third consecutive deal with the company, extending a 15-year partnership that’s kept his legacy alive across generations.

The former longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWE history—holding the title for an unmatched 454 days—Honky Tonk Man made a name for himself with wild charisma, a swinging guitar, and Jimmy Hart always by his side. Known for his sneaky wins and crowd-popping swagger, he helped define what sports entertainment would eventually become.

“This Legends Deal is a reflection of my time and impact in WWE during the era it was becoming a global phenomenon,” he told us in an exclusive statement. “The relationship with WWE has been mutually beneficial and I am honored by their continued commitment to ensure the Honky Tonk Man character and intellectual property will live on forever.”
