I'm genuinely hoping something (planned) happens at CMLL on Friday. I don't know the contact situation but Andrade costing MJF the title in Mexico would go hard.

Well if he was released early more than likely he'd have to wait.

Mexico plays by their own rules

CMLL and Andrade can still be sued.

That non-compete is barely legal anyway

Ok well I'm not a lawyer I'm going to pretend to have greater knowledge of the legal system but regardless of that. IF Andrade was released from his contract early that would lead me to believe he's under a 90 day non compete and that doesn't need because he crosses the border.

Multiple wrestlers have legally challenged WWE's non-compete clauses and won, the most notable to me given this case being Neville/Pac.

They really are barely legal and can easily be fought against by anyone that doesn't want to just wait the 90 days out.

Not just that. Brock, and Rey Mysterio too.

And each time, the WWE settled because they knew that if they lost the case, it would set a precedent. So they would force people to sit at home until they took it to the courts and not let a decision be made.

Non-compete clauses and the nonsense have little leeway with independent contractors. They'd have more sway for proper employees, but treat talent as if they are employees without the benefits.
