The indie promotion had recently announced a partnership with AEW's MyAEW streaming platform. Rourke's removal is reportedly unrelated to that MyAEW relationship. June 20 is speculated to line up with a WWE Evolve taping, which could explain the scheduling conflict under his WWE ID deal.
Promoters were told by AEW that there are no restrictions on putting contracted talent from other promotions on the MyAEW service. Limitless Wrestling, PRODUCE Wrestling, and 1FW have been added to the platform so far.
