UPDATE: After the latest round of WWE releases, Teddy Long is reportedly the only former WWE talent who is free to do what he wants, in terms of working for another wrestling promotion. Long’s contract ran out, and he opted not to re-sign.
The other talents that were released have the oft-reported 90 day no-compete clause in their WWE contracts. So they cannot work for another wrestling company until September 12. For example, Brodus Clay and Curt Hawkins are both scheduled to work an upcoming Pro Wrestling Syndicate event on September 20, after the expiration date of the no-compete agreement.
ORIGINAL: While WWE could be planning more cuts from the company, there is nothing to indicate backstage that more releases will take place.
Previously, Jim Ross and several others within the company speculated that more wrestlers and office employees could be released.
