The future of former AEW International Champion Rey Fenix is at a crossroads as his brother and tag team partner, Pentagon Jr. (Penta El Zero Miedo), moves toward free agency. With Penta’s AEW contract officially expired, speculation is running wild that the fan-favorite luchador is WWE-bound. However, Fenix finds himself in a very different situation as AEW exercised its option to extend his contract due to injury-related absences.
This has created a frustrating scenario for Fenix, who is now contractually tied to AEW while Penta explores new opportunities. Responding to fan comments on social media suggesting he has been mistreated, Fenix didn’t mince words, stating, “I will speak my truth.” Hours later, he fueled speculation with a cryptic follow-up tweet: “No one stays in a place where they received inhumane treatment.”
While the full extent of Fenix’s frustration remains unclear, it’s evident that his relationship with AEW has grown strained. AEW President Tony Khan opted to add injury time to Fenix’s contract, ensuring that the high-flying star cannot follow his brother out of the company—at least not until 2025, when his extended deal is set to expire.
Penta’s Next Chapter and WWE Speculation
Pentagon Jr., on the other hand, is reportedly on the brink of a major career move. Rumors have swirled for months that WWE has had plans in place for the former AEW World Tag Team Champion as soon as he became a free agent. If true, it would mark a significant shake-up for both AEW and WWE. The brothers, who debuted together during AEW’s early days in 2019, have long been cornerstones of the promotion’s tag team division, most notably feuding with The Young Bucks and forming the popular Death Triangle faction alongside PAC.
With PAC now part of the Blackpool Combat Club—rebranded as The Deathriders—Death Triangle officially dissolved earlier this year. This breakup coincided with contract issues for both Fenix and Penta, further signaling the end of an era for the once-dominant trio.
What’s Next for Rey Fenix?
Despite Penta’s likely departure, Rey Fenix’s AEW run isn’t over yet. The dynamic luchador remains one of AEW’s most exciting in-ring talents, but his public comments suggest a growing dissatisfaction. Whether this leads to a full-on fallout or a resolution with AEW remains to be seen.
As for Penta, all eyes are on WWE to see if the masked star makes his debut in the coming weeks or months. If WWE does move forward with plans for Penta, it will be interesting to see how they position him in an already stacked roster. For now, fans can only hope that Fenix’s situation resolves amicably and that the legendary Lucha Brothers reunite sooner rather than later—no matter the promotion.
Stay tuned as we keep an eye on both Penta’s potential WWE journey and Rey Fenix’s evolving situation in AEW. Lucha Libre’s favorite brothers may be going their separate ways—for now.
