Fans of one AEW star will need to reset their expectations to see an in-ring return from a wrestler who has the reputation of putting on a good match with anyone he steps into the ring with.
The star
The concern about Rey Fenix among fans began after WrestleDream when he worked just a few minutes in the AEW World Tag Team Fatal-Four Way Number One Contender Match. He was taken to the backstage area during the match.
Taking to Twitter, Fenix later noted he was dealing with “an old injury” but had planned to defend the AEW International Championship, which he held at the time, and worked two matches, including losing the title to Orange Cassidy on October 10. He hasn’t worked since then, as he was later pulled from a January 5th independent show.
Progress?
In a recent interview with Denise Salcedo, the AEW star called it the worst injury of his career but hopes to return soon.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that “Even though Rey Fenix was on television with Penta last week, he’s pretty banged up and not expected back that soon.”
We wish him a speedy recovery.
