Rey Fenix, a former AEW Tag Team Champion, has officially parted ways with AEW, sparking major speculation about his potential move to WWE. His brother, Penta El Zero Miedo, already made the jump, debuting on WWE RAW in January.
In 2024, reports suggested that the Lucha Brothers, Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero Miedo, planned to join WWE once their AEW contracts expired. However, AEW extended Fenix’s contract through 2025 due to his injury, delaying his expected departure.
Penta El Zero Miedo, on the other hand, left AEW in December when his contract expired, fueling even more speculation about Fenix’s next move. AEW’s decision to extend Fenix’s contract reportedly frustrated him.
Rey Fenix lashed out at AEW after the promotion extended his contract, even posting some controversial tweets. However, earlier this week, he officially left AEW following months of inactivity.
Following the news, reports quickly surfaced that sources expect to sign Fenix now that he is a free agent. They also suggested that Fenix could appear on the WrestleMania 41 card. However, WWE has not set an official timeline for his arrival.
As anticipation builds for Fenix’s WWE debut, new reports continue to surface, providing major backstage updates on his status with the company.
Former AEW star Rey Fenix expected to undergo WWE medicals soon
According to recent reports from Fightful Select (behind paywall), a major backstage update on Rey Fenix’s WWE status was shared. The report revealed that Fenix is expected to undergo his medical evaluations with WWE soon.
Additionally, WWE has already started brainstorming merchandise ideas for Fenix. However, he hasn’t signed with the promotion yet. Fenix’s deal is expected to be finalized soon unless something unexpected happens.
With reports suggesting that Fenix’s deal will be finalized soon and WrestleMania 41 approaching, it will be interesting to see if he arrives in WWE before the event to join his brother, Penta El Zero Miedo.
