WWE Super Stars end their clause | Today marks three months since the last great wave of layoffs from WWE which took place in the month of June when Braun Strowman, Ruby Riott (Now known as Ruby Soho), Lana, Santana Garrett, Aleister Black (Malakai Black in All Elite Wrestling) and Buddy Murphy (Now Buddy Matthews) they were released from their contracts with the McMahon company.
Former WWE superstars go free
Of this group, all were affected by a ninety-day no-competition clause included in their contracts with WWE except for Black, as he had a contract with NXT that ended earlier than planned. Recall that Black did not appear on WWE television programming for six months from the episode of RAW on October 12, 2020, where he was defeated by Kevin Owens in a match without disqualification. Later, he was transferred to Smackdown as part of the Draft of that same year; In the blue show, Black appeared three months ago attacking Big E with a new character that unfortunately the WWE universe could not meet due to his dismissal and subsequent contract with AEW.
Regarding the clause, Black stated in a broadcast from his Twitch account:
From a business point of view, a clause like this is understandable. Within the world of television it is correct that there is a space of time between one job and another. (…) I do not agree that said period should be three months as occurs in conventional contracts.
The future of these talents is still uncertain, but the safest thing is that their destinations are in two possible places: first, Impact Wrestling and, secondly, All Elite Wrestling that already has in its ranks with fighters who have left. from WWE like Chris Jericho, Christian Cage (Christian in WWE), Paul Wight (Big Show), Miro (Rusev), Jon Moxley (Dean Ambrose) and many others.
Only time will tell where and how we can see more action from these great talents, we will have to be very aware of the next wrestling shows and the athletes’ social networks in search of any news.
