WWE recently released a number of talents due to coronavirus related budget cuts, and when their non-compete clauses expire they’ll be free to wrestle wherever they like.
Over the last few months WWE had been trying to lock talents down to prevent AEW from signing them, but the coronavirus has also put All Elite Wrestling in a unique position as well.
Former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho recently spoke to TV Insider about the releases, and he said that everyone is going to land where they should.
“It’s an interesting time right now, because a lot of guys got released. By proxy, you went from a business that was very profitable in many different levels to everything grinding to a halt. Hopefully, many of them will get picked up by the different companies. Some guys may have to go overseas. I don’t know what AEW has planned. That’s not really my wheelhouse. But I’m sure everybody is going to land where they should land. It’s just how it goes.”
