The Lucha Bros. (Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix) won’t be coming to WWE together right away as Rey Fenix is sticking around AEW for longer than he expected.
WWE has been interested in them for a while, as Fightful reported that Penta openly told someone close to him that he’d already had conversations with WWE earlier this summer. However, Fenix and Penta are still under contract.
Over the last week, there was talk that Fenix may stay in AEW longer than expected if AEW adds time to the deal for missed time. That is going to be the case.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that Penta is going to WWE when his deal is up which is within the next two months. Meltzer wrote, “As far as Fenix goes, right now AEW is tacking on injury time which is nearly but not quite one year. Khan made both significant offers to stay but they wouldn’t sign a new deal.”
Fenix has yet to comment publicly on his contract situation.
