10 Things In Triple H's WWE Contract You Need To Know

7. Violations Of "Moral Turpitude" Breach The Contract

This is what caused problems for Alberto Del Rio a few years back. From Triple H's contract:

9.13 (a) WRESTLER shall act at all times with due regard to public morals and conventions during the Term of this Agreement. Except as to such actions specifically directed by PROMOTER, if WRESTLER shall have committed or shall commit any act or do anything that is or shall be an offense or violation involving moral turpitude under Federal, state or local laws, or which brings WRESTLER into public disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule, or which insults or offends the community or any employee, agent or affiliate of PROMOTER or which injures WRESTLER€™s reputation in PROMOTER's sole judgment, or diminishes the value of WRESTLER€™s professional wrestling services to the public or PROMOTER, then at the time of any such act, or any time after PROMOTER learns of any such act, PROMOTER shall have the right to fine WRESTLER in an amount to be determined by PROMOTER; and PROMOTER shall have the right to immediately suspend WRESTLER and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12. [...] 12.1 Except as otherwise set forth herein, in addition to those reasons set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, PROMOTER shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately suspend or terminate this Agreement, both as to services and compensation, if any of the following occurs: [...] (f) WRESTLER breaches Section 9.13(a).

Because Del Rio was fired for slapping someone so hard he knocked him to the ground, he breached his contract. Breaching it is a lot different from being fired for just because WWE is looking to cut people, and it gives them more power. This is why, apparently, Del Rio's non-compete period, which would normally be 90 days just for American television, allowing him to work indies and international dates, was 90 days for American television and one year internationally.
