AJ Styles, Non-Compete Agreement, Masters, Taker

Written by Richard Gray on Aug 3, 2009 - 1:35:03 PM

In my opinion, AJ Styles is one of the best wrestlers and pure athletes in the business. He is also a great worker. Is there any chance of him ever going to WWE and taking his career to the next level?

I agree AJ Styles is one of the best wrestlers and pure athletes in the business. I feel TNA does not book him to his full potential and should be ashamed at putting Kevin Nash over him on pay-per-view. With that being said, I'm not sure how things would work if Styles would leave TNA to go to WWE. If you look at recent names to make the transition (Gail Kim and Christian), they have not reclaimed the status as top stars in the industry. In TNA Gail Kim was outshining all the entire roster and Christian was a top guy. Now Gail is being overlooked and Christian is the top guy on WWE's C brand.

In the real world when an employee is fired he is free to work for any other company he chooses. Why is it when a WWE employee gets fired, he has a 90 day non-compete clause. Is he still being paid by the WWE during those 90 days?

A non-compete agreement is actually a fairly common clause in a contract and is not restricted to professional wrestling. Many professional positions that require contracts include non-compete agreements. These types of agreements can also be included in the sale of a business such as a restaurant. I'm not sure if the 90-day non-compete agreement in a WWE performer's contract includes some type of severance pay or not. When the worker signs the contract they are aware of the clause and agree to it.

What are the plans for Chris Masters in WWE?

From what I've heard Chris Masters is going to be a mid-card worker on Raw. I don't see a push coming too quick as he has to prove to be reliable.

Who do you see The Undertaker feuding with when he returns?

The Undertaker will feud with a top heel worker on SmackDown. I've heard Dolph Ziggler's name has been mentioned and of course CM Punk would be an obvious choice.
