Then why even release him if he wasn't under contract to begin with? I know that if this is a storyline it makes perfect sense to use Danielson because he is the IWC's boy, but kayfabe wise, this just doesn't make sense. Like you said he 'wasn't' under contract to begin with, so why would they post a fake story about him being released from a company he 'doesn't' work for in the first place?
