Issues in MLW & CMLL alliance appear to be smoothed over

A can of worms was opened when MLW booked Tessa Blanchard from CMLL, and it seemed like trouble was brewing in that interpromotional strategic alliance. It was never clear publicly what the issue was. Now, it seems that whatever happened behind the scenes to ruffle feathers has been smoothed over. MLW and CMLL often exchange talent in this partnership. MLW benefits more when showcasing star luchadores, such as Mistico, to sell tickets in markets that are eager for lucha libre. The alliance has been smooth sailing for a few years. Things appeared to get rocky for a minute when MLW secured the services of Blanchard. CMLL released a statement saying Blanchard was only booked for one date. Those plans ended up being canceled, and Blanchard did not appear in MLW. The next odd step was luchadores being deleted off the MLW website. Curiosity brewed from fans wondering what the heck was going on. Just as quickly as that kerfuffle occurred, things were getting back in place to calm any issues.
