Over the last few years, AEW was often viewed as a haven for wrestlers seeking creative freedom and a fresh start. Many WWE stars flocked to the promotion, praising its management and direction. However, in recent times, cracks in that narrative have begun to surface, with some talent publicly sharing negative experiences. The latest name to express frustration? Rey Fenix.
Rey Fenix, one-half of the Lucha Brothers alongside his brother Penta El Zero Miedo, has seemingly called out AEW’s handling of his medical needs and contract situation. It all stems from a complicated saga surrounding their AEW contracts, which were reportedly extended due to injury time.
On social media, Fenix didn’t hold back, claiming he was subjected to what he described as “inhumane treatment” by AEW. He took to X (formerly Twitter) to shed light on the issue, writing, “I needed a doctor and you ignored me for months.” This pointed statement adds to an ongoing conversation about AEW’s medical protocols, which have been criticized in the past. CM Punk, for example, alleged that AEW failed to cover his medical expenses—an accusation that led to Tony Khan publicly refuting the claim.
The timing of Fenix’s comments has sparked even more speculation. According to Dr. Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda, sources within AEW have denied the recent rumors that Tony Khan reacted to news of the Lucha Brothers jumping to WWE. However, Featherstone hinted there’s another reason behind the apparent discontent, which will reportedly come to light soon. Fenix himself responded to this report, commenting, “So far the most accurate comment,” adding further fuel to the fire.
As of now, Fenix remains under contract with AEW, and it’s unclear if his social media posts will lead to disciplinary action. What’s equally puzzling is why Fenix chose to speak out while still tied to the promotion. For a wrestler as respected and talented as Fenix, his frustrations paint a troubling picture of AEW’s backstage operations.
With AEW’s medical policies under scrutiny once again and questions swirling about talent treatment, it’s a situation worth keeping an eye on. Will Fenix’s grievances lead to further fallout within AEW, or will this simply fade away as another chapter in the company’s growing pains? Time will tell.
Stay tuned for updates as this story continues to develop.
