On Wednesday, World Entertainment Series announced that their first event, which was scheduled for July 9, had officially been canceled.
The event had already been postponed from its original June 4 date. Leading up to the event, talent such as CJ Perry (Lana), Lina Fanene (Nia Jax), and Matt Rehwoldt had pulled out of the event. In their statement, Wrestling Entertainment Series claimed that they had no choice but to cancel the event with several talents “not showing up.” Addressing Fanene directly, it was stated that she was paid her deposit and changed her mind and decided not to show up and wrestle.
Taking to social media, talents who were originally booked for the event responded to the statement.
Straight garbage to try and blame talent not showing up. I’m not a stooge but the truth will come out. Y’all are good at finding it.

What a laugh… https://t.co/nLviKrWwUa
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

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

Be better. If you love wrestling just leave it to the pros or actually do what what you say you’re going to.
“Wrestlers no showing” - ain’t ever going to be a thing. Maybe 1 or 2. But not enough to warrant cancelling a show. We love this.
