In the days leading to the announcement that the show was canceled, Matt Rehwoldt called the promotion, which being run by former WWE stars The Authors of Pain, out for "ghosting him" while the former Nia Jax claimed she was being falsely advertised for this weekend.
A number of talents took to social media to respond to the cancellation and the reasons given:
Instead of blaming the talent who took weeks off to come work for your NEW company under the impression you could be trusted… try refunding the fans & apologizing for your lack of organization. https://t.co/PDePCzITAF

I refuse to let anyone control my emotions. With that being said, I am available in the US/MEXICO/Canada/PR this weekend 7/8 - 7/11. If we worked together before let's make a deal. Stay #luchalithttps://t.co/mKD0pc4epq https://t.co/ilCkJSLVRM

What a laugh… https://t.co/nLviKrWwUa
It’s always lame when a hot upstart promotion that’s been a talked about red flag from the word “go” cancels.

Sure the wrestlers got paid. But not one of the fans that were excited will remember who or why it cancelled. It’ll just leave a stain on the wrestling scene altogether. pic.twitter.com/NJqXpgeTd5
