Penta El Zero Miedo Makes Dramatic AAA Return After AEW Departure

The speculation surrounding Penta El Zero Miedo’s next move has finally been answered.

The former AEW World Tag Team Champion made a surprise appearance at AAA Lucha Libre’s latest TV tapings on December 7, just days after his official departure from All Elite Wrestling. The luchador stepped into the ring and led the crowd in a thunderous “Cero Miedo” chant before addressing his fans.

AAA’s social media team wasted no time sharing the moment, posting footage of Penta’s appearance with the caption: “¿Adiós o un nuevo comienzo? Pentagón Jr., EL CERO MIEDO, se presenta en el cierre de la gira #OrígenesAAA en CDMX.” The clip has already ignited speculation about whether this marks the beginning of a new chapter for Penta in AAA or if it’s just a brief stop on his journey as a free agent.

Penta’s AEW exit was made official earlier this month when his name was removed from the company’s roster page, confirming his contract had expired. While his brother and tag team partner Rey Fenix remains under AEW contract until at least 2025 due to injury time, Penta has kept himself busy on the independent circuit, taking select bookings in Mexico.

With his surprise return to AAA, fans are now wondering if this is a signal of a permanent homecoming or part of a larger plan for the Lucha Brothers to eventually reunite elsewhere. Penta’s time in AEW saw him captivate audiences as part of the Lucha Brothers, and now, as a free agent, the possibilities for his next move seem limitless.
