CMLL tweeted out that their relationship with now ROH World Champion RUSH and Dragon Lee has ended:

“CMLL has been forged by some of the greatest figures in Lucha Libre throughout 86 years, characterized by its discipline and seriousness. That is why it is announced that starting now, RUSH and Dragon Lee are no longer part of our company for no complying with committing to programming and company guidelines.”

The same evening, a bit earlier, RUSH put out a video saying that he is an independent wrestler:

Dragon Lee posted the following on social media:

“I feel surprised that a company so serious, of which I have been very loyal, dedicating my life, my body and my attention, elevating CMLL around the world and even in companies and places they wouldn’t let me because of the company’s ego, but I did it for the love of lucha libre and wanted to grow.

I don’t understand why CMLL announced my firing when I haven’t told them I was leaving and much less spoken to my father La Bestia and my brother RUSH, who announced his release. But hey, I’m out and it looks like they ran me out. I can’t believe it.

I welcome this new chapter in my life. I’m thankful for Mr. Francisco Alonso, who always gave me his support, trusted in me and gave me many opportunities.”

La Bestia del Ring also stated in a video that he is an independent wrestler now and no longer with CMLL. LuchaBlog is reporting that, “CMLL has not officially fired Bestia del Ring, but he was only being booked as a favor to his family. He declared he would be going independent (and be booked by indy promoters as a favor to Rush going forward.)”
