Former WWE superstar and licensed lawyer David Otunga gave his take on the company's contracts and non-compete clauses. At the same time, he revealed that Andrade's situation was the first time he had heard of a talent being sidelined for a year for violating their terms."This is in all WWE contracts. It's been in them since at least 2017, probably further back than that. And I would imagine it's in most wrestling companies' contracts. It's been in there, and it says it can go up to one year. Although in practice, WWE typically releases talent, and there would be a 90-day non-compete, and it's usually paid. In this situation, for whatever reason, this is the first time I ever recall them wanting to enforce this. And enforcing this against Andrade for an entire year without pay." -David Otunga on The Ariel Helwani Show [00:35-1:14]With the Mexican star's future uncertain, it remains to be seen what the future holds for him.
