Ember Moon's WWE non-compete expires in 30 days
Many fans wondered which contract Ember Moon was on when she received her WWE release as she was part of the NXT brand at the time of her release, due to the fact that most NXT talents are only under a 30-day non-compete deal.
Well, Ember Moon took to social media today to confirm that she is, in fact, under the standard 90-day non-compete due to the time she spent on the main roster before returning to NXT after returning from a very serious Achilles injury.
Moon sent out the following message out this afternoon:
"30 days... until I am free!!!!!" Ember Moon tweeted.
30 days from now is Wednesday, February 2, so if the stars align properly and they can work out a deal, Ember Moon could potentially appear on AEW Dynamite right after her non-compete expires.
While it seems unlikely that the two sides could come to an agreement that quickly, stranger things have happened in professional wrestling and one way or another, it appears Athena is excited to start the next chapter of her career.
30 days... until I am free!!!!!
