Rey Fenix’s situation with AEW has taken a dramatic turn as tensions escalate over his contract status. AEW recently extended Fenix’s deal by nearly a year, citing time missed due to injury. However, Fenix is reportedly counting down the days until the extension ends, fueling speculation about a reunion with Penta El Zero M as the Lucha Bros. WWE is said to be highly interested in signing the duo once free.
Fenix responded to a tweet by Dr. Chris Featherstone of SportsKeeda, who addressed rumors that the contract extension wasn’t tied to alleged talks between the Lucha Bros. and WWE. Instead, Featherstone claimed there’s a deeper, untold story behind Fenix’s contract situation, describing it as a “huge injustice.” Fenix backed this claim, calling it the most accurate comment about his status and alleging that he suffered for months due to improper medical treatment.
In a recent SportsKeeda Backstage Pass Q&A, WrestleVotes revealed that WWE officials were taken aback by Fenix’s allegations and may investigate the claims further, potentially deepening interest in bringing him to the company.
WrestleVotes stated, “Hearing that there were those in the WWE that were surprised yesterday with the Rey Fenix tweets. Not to say that they’re not interested anymore, I’m sure that didn’t change, but there were some eyebrows raised over those tweets, especially if you’re going to put that out there publicly. I think WWE is going to do some digging into what’s going on……So that doctor one, you know, my phone started to buzz a little bit afterwards about just the surprise from a few WWE staffers that really didn’t have a pulse on to what may or may not be going on over there with Rey Fenix. So I just think it raised eyebrows throughout the whole wrestling world, and it did, certainly, you know, in Stanford.”
