Rey Fenix had been with AEW since 2019. He won the AEW World Tag Team Championship and the ROH World Tag Team Championship with Penta El Zero Miedo (now known as Penta). Fenix also won the trios titles and the AEW International Championship. He has not wrestled since July 2024. Fenix made heated comments about “inhumane treatment” in since-deleted tweets. AEW reportedly added injury time to his contract, but he left the company earlier in March.
Fenix’s brother and tag team partner Penta left AEW in December and signed with WWE. Penta made his WWE debut in January. He has been featured on WWE RAW ever since.
