Penta and Rey Fenix Rumored to Be WWE-Bound Amidst Tumultuous Exit from AEW

Penta and Rey Fenix, the dynamic duo known as the Lucha Bros., appear to be on the verge of a major career move to WWE, but the journey to get there has been anything but smooth.

According to a recent report from Fightful Select, Penta has been openly discussing his potential move to WWE with those close to him, revealing that he’s already had conversations with the company over the summer. Penta reportedly indicated that he wasn’t interested in going through WWE’s NXT system and that he and his brother Fenix would be a package deal. WWE sources have reportedly stated that this wouldn’t be an issue, as there has long been interest in Fenix as well.

Despite Penta’s pushback against these reports, multiple sources close to him have confirmed that he claimed he would be in Orlando this week, though it remains unclear if this visit is related to WWE’s Performance Center. Notably, Penta is scheduled for a booking in Mexico on Thursday, further adding to the uncertainty.

From AEW’s perspective, there have been murmurs about this potential move for a while, but many within the company were still surprised to see the rumors surface so prominently. AEW had reportedly offered the Lucha Bros. a new deal that was said to be comparable to what WWE is supposedly willing to provide. However, the situation remains murky, with various details stemming directly from the talent and lacking official confirmation due to the contractual complexities involved.

Among the claims made by Penta to his friends is that his AEW contract has already expired. However, he remains listed on AEW’s roster page, and there are several within AEW who believe that if his contract hasn’t actually expired, the company could extend it due to injury time. There’s also speculation within AEW that Penta’s public denial of these reports may be a strategic move to allow his brother, Rey Fenix, to exit AEW without facing contractual obstacles.

The situation remains fluid, with many details yet to be fully clarified. As it stands, the wrestling world is watching closely to see if Penta and Rey Fenix will indeed make the jump to WWE, and if so, how their departure from AEW will unfold.
