Conflicting Reports on Lucha Bros’ Status with WWE and AEW – There have been swirling reports that the Lucha Bros, Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix, are expected to join WWE under multi-year contracts. However, recent updates suggest that while the deal is anticipated, it hasn’t officially been signed yet. According to Fightful, a WWE source clarified that neither Penta nor Fenix has put pen to paper, despite the ongoing negotiations and preparations for their arrival.
Further complicating matters, Rey Fenix is reportedly still under contract with AEW, making his potential move to WWE less straightforward. While Penta has been in contact with WWE and expects to make the jump, both brothers remain on AEW’s official roster, indicating that the situation is far from settled. Penta is said to have told people over the summer that he anticipated joining WWE, and he views himself and Fenix as a package deal that would bypass NXT and head straight to the main roster.
WWE has reportedly already begun work on merchandise for the Lucha Bros, a sign that the company is preparing for their arrival. This contrasts with AEW’s handling of the duo, where trademark and legal challenges reportedly impacted merchandising in the past. Despite this preparation, the move could be stalled due to Fenix’s contractual obligations with AEW, leaving the transition in a gray area for now.
Both AEW and WWE have yet to make official statements on the matter, but fans of the Lucha Bros will be keeping a close eye on developments as the situation unfolds.
