RUSH, the reigning ROH Champion, and Dragon Lee both recently signed extensions with ROH, but left CMLL in 2019. RUSH was critical of CMLL after leaving the promotion,💎 saying CMLL had꧅ not taken full advantage of the partnerships with ROH and NJPW.
NJPW and CMLL put out a joint statement in February saying they are committed to their partnership.
ROH and CMLL have not held joint shows since September 2019. ROH COO Joe Koff cited the pandemic as making it challenging to work with partners.
