The former Bray Wyatt dropped his latest social media tease on Wednesday, hitting Twitter to stir the pot as his 90-day WWE non-compete clause nears expiration.

Here's what Windham Rotunda tweeted last night:-

This is almost certainly a reference to his non-compete running out. Released by WWE on 31 July, his 90 days should be up on Friday 29 October. This means Rotunda will legally be able to negotiate with, appear for, and sign for other wrestling promotions.

Almost every major wrestling company under the sun has been linked to signing the former Fiend since he left WWE, with IMPACT Wrestling recently making strong overtures to bring him in. AEW remains in the conversation as well, despite reports dismissing the links, as company founder and president Tony Khan told the New York Post the following earlier this month:-

"Yeah. I really like Windham (Rotunda). I know him a little bit and I really enjoy him. The last time I saw him was at Chris Jericho’s birthday party and that was a long time ago. I like him as a person very much and he’s a really talented person. At the right time and place, sure I’d be interested to talk to him. I’m interested to talk to him in general because he’s a great person."

Rotunda is still technically under WWE contract until his non-compete expires on Friday, which hinders negotiations with prospective new employers.
