But after Bound for Glory, rumors stating that Christian dropping the IMPACT World Championship indicated the end of AEW's relationship with the promotion. But as per the the latest update from Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW isn't firmly ending its relationship with IMPACT. Instead, this report suggested that the door is open for further collaboration down the road.

Per Meltzer, an IMPACT source provided the following quote:

“It’s getting talked about like that but not quite accurate. Cage dropping the title at BFG was the end of the story that started last December. That was the plan since the spring. Door is open to do more but nothing planned for short-term.”

This report pointed out that the collaboration between IMPACT and AEW produced a story that kicked off last December, and Bound For Glory was intended to be its conclusion.
