Maverick Pro announced on February 18 that Ace Romero will no longer be appearing on their February 24 show due to an emergency. We have been told by multiple sources that Romero, who is booked for a future date with PCW Ultra (and is already on the promotion’s roster page), was informed by PCW Ultra that if he appears for Maverick Pro first they’d cancel his future booking. Maverick Pro had already paid for a non-refundable flight. Romero was scheduled to face Killer Kross for the Maverick Pro title in the main event. No replacement has been announced.

Update: After reporting this, Ace Romero issued a statement on Twitter stating that the story is “is 100% made up. I decided to opt out of my Maverick Pro booking for other reasons.”
