The news was first broken by AdFreeShows' Jon Alba, who reported on Tuesday evening that Romero had been let go by the Anthem-helmed promotion. Sean Ross Sapp followed up with further details on Fightful Select, detailing how Romero doesn't have a no-compete clause attached to his contract, effectively allowing him to work for any promotion immediately. Due to the nature of his contract being on a pay-per-appearance deal, Acey hadn't been paid since April.

Fightful Select reported at the end of August that Acey had requested his release from IMPACT, having not appeared since a May broadcast of Before The IMPACT. This new report also states that the relevant paperwork took a few weeks to process, hence the delay in Acey actually gaining his release.

Acey was signed to IMPACT the night before Bound For Glory 2019, being offered a contract in-ring by Scott D'Amore. He then took part in the pay-per-view's X Division Title ladder match, being part of a notable spot with Tessa Blanchard where he went crashing through a table from atop a ladder. Romero has since thanked IMPACT in a statement posted to his Twitter:-

As of writing, there's no word on Romero's next move.
