WWEs latest wave of releases shook up both the main roster and NXTbut not everyone will be stuck waiting to make their next move.
While main roster names like Shayna Baszler, Braun Strowman, Dakota Kai, Katana Chance, and Kayden Carter are expected to sit through WWEs standard 90-day non-compete clause, many of the released NXT stars will be back in action much sooner.
Gigi Dolin, Cora Jade, Gallus, Jakara Jackson, Eddy Thorpe, Javier Bernal, Oro Mensah, and Riley Osborne were all cut today, and most of them are working under 30-day non-competes. That means theyll be paid for the next month while being free to show up for another promotion as early as Junejust in time for summer bookings and indie runs.
This kind of clause split isnt new, but its definitely gaining attention now. Main roster names are typically locked down longer to prevent sudden moves to rival companies. Developmental talent, on the other hand, are often free to explore new opportunities after just a short waiting period. Its a subtle differencebut one that could change how quickly these stars bounce back.
With names like Cora Jade and Gigi Dolin already generating conversation across social media, its only a matter of time before we start seeing them pop up in promotions like TNA, AEW, or on the independent scene.
Which of these 30-day NXT releases do you think will make the biggest impact next? Who should sign them first? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know.
