In the wild world of professional wrestling, where the drama backstage often rivals the action in the ring, the latest buzz surrounds none other than the dynamic duo of Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix. These masked marvels, collectively known as the Lucha Brothers, are reportedly packing their bags and searching for a new locker room away from AEW, with WWE being the rumored destination. And let me tell you, folks, this could be huge—like, “two-for-one taco night at the local cantina” huge.
Word on the street is that AEW has been frantically waving contracts in front of the Lucha Brothers, hoping to keep them from pulling a Houdini and disappearing to the land of NXT and Raw. But here’s the twist—Penta and Fenix, those sneaky little luchadores, have apparently been stalling on putting pen to paper. Some say this hesitation caused a match at All In 2024 to be canned faster than leftover guacamole. The nerve!
Now, the latest backstage gossip, courtesy of Fightful Select (because where else?), suggests that WWE has been eyeing Fenix like a cat watching a laser pointer—intently and with the kind of focus usually reserved for hunting dinner. Apparently, NXT is not on the menu, though, as these high-flyers have set their sights on the main roster. You know, the big leagues, where the stakes are higher and the ropes are…well, they’re the same height, but you get the point.
Penta, ever the enigma, recently declared that his “present is with AEW” (which is kind of like saying “I’m still at the party, but I might leave when the chips run out”). But wait, there’s more! He also hinted at a trip to Orlando—home of Disney World, but more importantly, the WWE Performance Center. Coincidence? I think not.
According to some well-placed AEW insiders, this whole song and dance might just be a clever ploy by the Lucha Brothers to exit stage left without stepping on any toes—or, in wrestling terms, without getting hit with a steel chair on their way out. And while AEW has reportedly offered these guys a deal as sweet as a churro on a summer day, there’s speculation that the company could extend their contracts if they’ve been out due to injury. Bad news for Fenix, who might end up more stuck than gum under a bleacher seat.
For now, Penta and Fenix remain on AEW’s roster page, like mysterious figures in a wrestling-themed soap opera. Will they stay? Will they go? Will they end up in Orlando taking selfies with Mickey Mouse and Vince McMahon? The drama continues, folks, and we’re all just here for the popcorn.
