Luke Harper finally got his release from WWE a few days ago but it appears that this decision will not affect the former Champion’s schedule in any significant way.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio talked about the releases recently and he revealed that all the released stars have a 90 days non compete clause in place and they will only be able to make TV appearances after that.

This means that the former Wyatt Family member and other stars will only be able to join any major promotion after March 8, 2020.

What’s interesting to note here is that Harper’s contract was originally going to expire on March 25th anyway, so his early departure does not affect his return to the free market in any major way.

Meltzer also mentioned that after the latest releases this past Sunday, more could be coming soon. He noted how several other stars have asked to be let go recently and he believes that more announcements could be on the way.

In addition to Luke Harper, WWE released Sin Cara and the former NXT Tag Team Champions Konnor and Viktor from their contracts this past Sunday.

Out of these four, both Harper and Sin Cara had asked for their release publicly with lengthy statements on social media, while on the other hand, there was no news of the Ascension asking for their release from the promotion.
