Seems like neither AEW or WWE were interested in Santana or Ortiz as solo acts. Shane they couldn’t make amends after falling out, might just effectively kill both of their careers as far as AEW and WWE goes. Nothing wrong with doing TNA and the indies though and there’s a lot of money to be made if you know how to market yourself, but certainly a different and less stable type of grind

This opens possibilities in wrestling now:whoo:
Not really. They are talking about being prohibited from doing something similar to the job that you left. Example: an auto mechanic leaves a shop to start his own shop. However he signed a non-compete that prevents him from doing auto work within 50 miles of the previous job. This is what this ruling eliminates.

However it doesn’t apply to wrestling because the wrestlers signed an exclusive contract with the companies. After the contract is expired, the wrestler is free to wrestle anywhere. When WWE releases talent, they put in 90 day clause. During that 90 days, the wrestlers are still being paid their downside guarantees. The 90 days is pretty much telling the talent that they will be officially released from their contract after the 90 days is up.

Now hypothetically , let’s say after CM Punk was fired from AEW, and he was prohibited from wrestling anywhere in the US for 90 days, but not getting paid for it. That’s a non compete, that this ruling eliminates

If this ruling holds up, courts might not thank too fondly of a clause that prevents someone from working for the competition for 90 days after being told their services are no longer needed.

They’d have to clear up the whole independent contractor situation first which is a good chunk of bullshyt on its own.
