Rey Fenix Pulls Out of Indie Event Amidst WWE Rumors

Penta El Zero Miedo, known for his role in the renowned Lucha Brothers tag team alongside Rey Fenix, has been a significant presence in AEW since its inception in 2019. As their contracts near expiration and rumors of a potential WWE transition loom, Rey Fenix’s recent withdrawal from an indie event has only intensified speculation about a possible move to WWE.

As previously reported, Penta El Zero Miedo’s AEW contract is due to expire between August and September 2024, positioning him as potential free agent. It has been noted that he is open to exploring opportunities outside AEW, with WWE expressing interest in securing his services. The same situation applies to Rey Fenix, as both wrestlers’ contracts are set to end this year.

Reports indicate that within AEW, there’s strong belief that both Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix might be heading to WWE once their contracts expire. WWE has also been having internal discussions about bringing them in, with a preference for placing them directly on the main roster rather than starting in NXT.

Amidst all the WWE speculation, New Era Wrestling took to its Facebook page and announced that Rey Fenix has pulled out of one of their events on September 27 in El Paso, Texas.

”TO OUR FANS:

REY FENIX WILL BE UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR LUCHA LIBRE EVENT ON SEPTEMBER 27TH DUE TO PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

Possible names for the Lucha Brothers after their AEW departure have also been revealed. Many fans believe that the departure of the Lucha Brothers from AEW would be a significant loss for the company, given their impactful contributions over the years. Ultimately, only time will reveal what Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix decide for their futures.
