11 WWE Wrestlers Officially Become Free Agents Today
A bunch of 90-day non-compete clauses expire today, freeing these ex-WWE stars to sign elsewhere.
Today is a big day for victims of WWE "budget cuts", with several of the wrestlers let go by the promotion in 2021 officially becoming free agents.
Released by WWE on 4 November 2021, the following wrestlers were bound by standard 90-day non-compete clauses on their main roster contracts. These have now expired - and the 11 talents below are free to work and sign elsewhere:-
- Karrion Kross
- B-Fab
- Lince Dorado
- Gran Metalik
- Mia Yim
- Keith Lee
- Nia Jax
- Harry Smith
- Eva Marie
- Ember Moon
- Oney Lorcan
Moon is something of an anomaly amongst this group, as she was technically working NXT at the time of her release. She had operated on the main roster prior to that, however, and has previously suggested that her 90-day clause remained intact despite the move.
Lorcan, another NXT wrestler, was also bound to main roster terms due to his role on 205 Live.
The rest were at least assigned to the main roster upon being cut, regardless of their usage rates.
NXT wrestlers are typically bound to 30-day non-competes. The likes of Scarlett, Blake Christian, and Jeet Rama were also let go on 4 November, but, as developmental wrestlers, they have been free to work for other companies for a while.
