Keith Lee & More Now Officially Free Agents Following Their WWE Releases
Keith Lee, Karrion Kross and more could now show up anywhere...
Feb 2, 2022
Ten performers who received their WWE releases on November 4 are now officially free agents.
As of today, they are no longer bound to their 90-day non-compete clauses and are able to appear for any other company, including AEW, IMPACT and NJPW.
The list of those who are now free agents includes Keith Lee, Karrion Kross, Ember Moon, Davey Boy Smith Jr., Mia Yim, Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado, Eva Marie, Nia Jax and Oney Lorcan.
Others who were released on November 4, including Scarlett, Franky Monet and B-Fab were signed to NXT contracts and thus only bound to a 30-day non-compete. They became free agents on December 4.
There has been much speculation on where certain released talent may end up. Some have already started booking independent dates, while others (like Kross and Eva Marie) are attached to work in film projects.
Keith Lee recently trademarked his 'Limitless' nickname and also filed for a new logo, ostensibly to use in his post-WWE career.
Biff Busick, FKA Oney Lorcan, tweeted yesterday that he was available to be booked for appearances, seminars and training.
Nia Jax has not ruled out a return to the ring, saying 'never say never', but stressed that it wasn't her priority right now.
