- Since Andrade was outright cut, belief from WWE sources was there was no 90 day period
- WWE informed Andrade after appearances that the 90 day period was still in effect even though he would not be getting paid
- A WWE source said this had to be enforced because they wouldn’t allow someone to be fired then immediately perform somewhere else
Non-competes are legally dubious even in the best of circumstances. If the contract was already terminated, I’m not sure WWE has a leg to stand on. IANAL though.
