According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Whitmer's issues with Ring of Honor stemmed from last September when WWE invited him to be a guest trainer at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

Ring of Honor stepped in and wanted Whitmer to sign a non-compete clause after letting them know of his interest in taking the guest trainer invitation.

With the rumored All Elite Wrestling on the horizon for 2019, it's expected that Whitmer will be joining up with them in a similar role.
