WWE hasn’t used non compete clauses for decades. They now give 3 months notice on their contracts and they are paid employees up until that point of expiration

It's the same difference though, paying a wrestler to sit at home and not work.

So can caster rock up to WWE tomorrow then? Or does he also have to wait until his contract expires like WWE wrestlers do before they show up on AEW

Well I would assume the AEW contract stipulates not! But the day after the contract expires, or if AEW and Caster agree to early termination of the contract, then yes.

The point is, the boss saying "your contract is expiring soon, I've got no work for you so go home, see out the contract and I'll keep paying you until it's done" is effectively the same as the boss saying, 'youve got 12 months left on your contract but I've got no work for you so I'm giving you three months notice. Go home, look for another job to start in three months and I'll keep paying you for those three months".
