Visa Issues Set To Cause Huge Changes To AEW Programming?

AEW

Some ongoing Visa issues may be set to cause several huge changes to upcoming episodes of AEW programming.

AEW has recently formed a major partnership with CMLL, with multiple CMLL wrestlers competing on Dynamite, Rampage and Collision in recent weeks.

Tonight’s episode of Dynamite will also feature CMLL talent, with Atlantis Jr set to take on ‘Lionheart’ Chris Jericho on the show.

However, it seems as though the partnership may have to be put on hold soon, due to circumstances out of the company’s control.

Per PWInsider, the United States work Visas for nearly 20 CMLL wrestlers in Mexico are in the process of being cancelled by the United States government.

Once the Visas are cancelled, it could take months for new Visas to go through the approval process and be reissued to the talent.

Among the Luchadores include Volador Jr, Hechicero and Mascara Dorada, who have all appear on AEW programming recently, as well as Blue Panther, Dulce Gardenia, El Sagrado, El Suicida, Electrico, Epiritu Negro, Euforia, Fugaz, Gemelo Diablo 1 and 2, Magico, Robin, Sangre Imperial, Soberano, Templario and referee Sagaz.

It’s not only AEW programming that is set to be affected by the issues, as any events over WrestleMania weekend in Philadelphia, NJPW’s Windy City Riot and any other events the aforementioned talent are booked on in the United States may also find the talents illegible to perform.
