While the official reason for the end of the partnership was not stated, it is currently rumored to be due to ROH contracted talent appearing for the upcoming debut event of RUSH’s new promotion called Federacion Wrestling in Mexico and ROH doing nothing to stop them.

Prior to CMLL’s announcement, the company’s partnership with ROH had existed since 2016.
