John Morrison and the WWE have gone the way of Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian.

For those folks who don’t really pay much attention to a hot chick that is a celebrity for reasons that are beyond me, that means that Morrison is no longer with the WWE after his contract expired and the two sides didn’t agree on a new deal.

Now, in most cases, WWE contracts usually feature what is called a non-compete clause. These clauses typically last for 90 days and prevent former WWE talent from appearing on another wrestling TV show (such as Impact Wrestling) before that clause expires.

I assumed that Morrison had one of these clauses in his WWE contract, but as it turns out, I was wrong.

From PWInsider.com (via WrestleNewz.com):

Regarding John Morrison, he is free to go where he wants as he has no non-compete clause with WWE.

Well, that’s pretty interesting.

I thought for sure that an upper mid-card star like Morrison would have a 90-day non-compete clause to make sure that he didn’t jump ship to TNA or even Ring of Honor shortly after his WWE deal expired.

That doesn’t appear to be the case, though.

As soon as it was revealed that Morrison was parting ways with the WWE, I thought that there was a good chance of him returning to the organization down the road. He’s relatively young, one heck of a talent and maybe just someone who needs a break from the WWE.

But, now that it’s been revealed that Morrison can go straight to TNA if he wants to, I wouldn’t even be remotely surprised if that’s exactly what happens.

With Melina recently getting future endeavored as well and TNA being known for taking on WWE castoffs, I could see Morrison and Melina making their way to Impact Wrestling as a duo within the next several weeks.

If I was Morrison, I’d skip out on TNA and go back to the WWE when I recharged my batteries. But no one really knows what Morrison’s thinking right now—other than Morrison himself—and if he doesn’t plan on ever returning to the WWE, then I think we’ll see him wrestling on Thursday nights as early as January.
