Rob Gronkowski (aka GRONK) appeared on the latest episode of RAW. He ended up getting pinned by R-Truth, losing the 24/7 Championship in the process.
Wrestling INC has now provided an update on GRONK’s future with WWE.
According to the report, Gronk is no longer under contract with WWE. Here is an excerpt from the site:
According to a source familiar with the situation, Gronkowski had a release clause in his contract that he exercised since he is returning to the NFL to play with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this upcoming season. While Gronkowski could likely make some appearances for the company, he will not be wrestling for them in the near future.
While Gronkowski has no other obligations to WWE, he can’t work for another wrestling company for a set period of time as part of the release clause.
The report also notes that the plans for GRONK to wrestle at Summerslam have been scrapped.
