I think his contract expired just after the PPV.
But yeah the issue came down to Bret had "reasonable creative control" in how he was booked and WWE didn't want it to get out further that Bret was going to WCW. And yeah they were worried either Bret would leave with the belt or Eric would announce on Nitro that he signed the current WWF Champion.
It amazes me that anyone defends Bret.
