On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite ‘Winter Is Coming’, Storm made her return following the Mariah May’s successful AEW Women’s World title defense against Mina Shirakawa at the end of the show.
Storm’s classic music hit. She returned with her trademark baseball bat and black eye makeup, gone was the “Timeless” Tony Storm gimmick.
Thunder Rosa, who was sitting at ringside, was holding up a “WTF” sign and May locked eyes with the returning Storm, her glare speaking volumes as tension mounted. Storm struck a pose at the top of the ramp, making it clear that her intentions are far from subtle.
This dramatic return sets the stage for a major showdown in AEW’s women’s division. With Storm back in the mix, Mariah May’s reign could be in serious jeopardy. It’ll be interesting to see how Thunder Rosa, May, and the rest of the division respond to Toni Storm’s return.
AEW stars William “Big Bill” Morrissey and Lexy Nair are officially married! Over the weekend, the happy couple exchanged vows in a beautiful destination wedding at a luxurious resort in Mexico. Lexy took to Instagram to share the exciting news, offering fans an inside look at the special day—from her bridal preparations to the ceremony and lively reception that followed.
The post was quickly flooded with congratulations from their AEW colleagues and friends, with names like Renee Paquette, Anthony Bowens, and Taya Valkyrie all chiming in to show their love and support for the newlyweds.
Big Bill and Lexy first announced their engagement back in December 2022, just months after Morrissey’s AEW debut. Their connection goes back even further, as the two reportedly started dating in 2021. Interestingly, their relationship likely began through a shared connection with wrestling legend Diamond Dallas Page, who also happens to be Nair’s step-father.
DDP has played a significant role in Morrissey’s life both personally and professionally. Back in 2019, Morrissey—who was battling substance abuse and depression at the time—found support and guidance through Page. With DDP’s help, Morrissey got sober and turned his life around, a journey that has led to a career resurgence and personal happiness.
Careers on the Rise in AEW and ROH
Since finding his footing in AEW, Morrissey has made a name for himself as “Big Bill,” aligning with veteran Chris Jericho in one of AEW’s prominent storylines. His imposing presence and in-ring dominance have cemented him as a force to watch within the promotion.
Lexy Nair, on the other hand, has become a familiar face as a backstage interviewer on AEW programming. Beyond AEW, she’s also taken on a bigger role in Ring of Honor, where she’s part of a major storyline alongside ROH Women’s World Champion Athena and rising star Billie Starkz.
Nair has been vocal about Morrissey’s support in her wrestling journey, crediting him for encouraging her to pursue an on-screen role back in 2019.
A Bright Future for the Newlyweds
Big Bill and Lexy Nair’s love story is one of resilience, growth, and support—both inside and outside the ring. Fans are celebrating this milestone alongside the couple, who continue to shine in their respective roles in AEW and beyond.
Here’s to many more years of happiness, love, and success for AEW’s newest power couple!
Former AEW World Tag Team Champion Penta El Zero Miedo has officially made waves outside of AEW following his recent contract expiration. The masked star shocked fans with a surprise appearance in AAA, where he delivered an emotional goodbye to his supporters in Mexico—though he promised a return at some point in the future.
Penta’s departure from AEW marks the end of a five-year journey with Tony Khan’s promotion, but it didn’t come without controversy. The Lucha Brothers—Penta and his brother Rey Fenix—haven’t appeared on AEW programming since August, fueling speculation about backstage tension. Now, with Penta gone and Fenix still under contract due to injury time extensions, their once-dominant AEW run appears fractured.
Fenix, in particular, has been vocal about his frustrations with AEW, recently taking to social media to call out the company for what he described as “inhumane treatment.” He also alleged that AEW ignored his medical needs for months during his recovery. With Penta’s exit and Fenix still embroiled in this tense situation, the brothers’ futures remain a hot topic in the wrestling world.
The intrigue surrounding Penta doesn’t stop there. WWE has reportedly expressed significant interest in signing both Penta and Rey Fenix, adding to the speculation that the Lucha Brothers could be on the verge of joining the global powerhouse. Penta, however, isn’t short on suitors. Multiple promotions are said to have reached out with offers, reflecting his value as both an in-ring performer and an international star.
Penta’s résumé speaks for itself. Before his AEW stint, he made his mark in TNA Wrestling—now Impact Wrestling—where he held the Impact World Championship. His unique blend of charisma, high-flying moves, and hard-hitting style has made him a fan favorite wherever he’s competed.
While Penta bids farewell to AEW and Mexico for now, the wrestling landscape is ripe for his next move. Whether he reunites with his brother under WWE’s banner or explores other opportunities, Penta El Zero Miedo’s future promises to be as exciting as his career thus far.
Stay tuned for updates on where Penta lands next and whether we’ll see the Lucha Brothers dominate a new stage together.
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.
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.
