PRODUCE announced on July 1 that WWE ID has removed wrestler Marcus Mathers from its upcoming Volume 2: Taigastyle show. Mathers was scheduled to appear in a battle royal at the July 16 event.
The promotion stated on social media that it wished Mathers the best of luck on his journey to WWE. A replacement for the battle royal will be named at a later date.
PRODUCE also reiterated its policy that performers who cancel existing bookings for other independent contractor gigs that are not full-time contracts will have all future bookings terminated. It is unclear whether this policy directly applies to the situation with Mathers.
WWE ID has previously pulled multiple wrestlers from scheduled independent bookings in June.
