Multiple Recent WWE Releases Have Asked To Forego Non-Compete Clauses (Patreon)

Fightful has learned that multiple 2021 WWE releases have asked WWE if they can forego their non-compete clauses, anywhere ranging from the entire duration, down to just a few days before their scheduled non-competes. WWE have said to be receptive to this, with Johnny Ace being the general point of contact for wrestlers to get this approved. We haven't heard if the wrestlers will still be paid for that period in the case of a few days, but WWE has been more lenient than ever before about inquiries regarding non-competes. We're working to get confirmation on some of the names who have requested such.
