Breaking: WWE Releases Austin Aries

The most recent Wrestling Observer Newsletter confirms that many of the writers and fellow cruiserweights were not unhappy to see him go based on his attitude.

Aries had a 90-day non-compete agreement attached to his WWE contract which ends on October 5, 2017 according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Aries will continue to collect his downside guarantee from WWE until that point and will be able to use the Austin Aries name after the agreement expires.

Aries can work independent dates during the next three months but the dates will have to be approved by WWE. This means he won’t be working anywhere WWE doesn’t want him working until after his non-compete expires.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter also notes the terms of Aries’ release are consistent with a WWE-decided release. Had he quit on his own the company could have at least attempted to enforce the remainder of his contract.
