Hold on to your lucha-loving hearts, because “The Man of a Thousand Lives” is about to add “WWE Superstar” to his résumé—and WWE Shop is already cashing in faster than Vince McMahon spotting a copyright loophole.
That’s right: Rey Fenix, flipper of bodies, defier of physics, and certified king of aerial insanity, is making his long-awaited debut on WWE SmackDown, and WWE Shop has dropped two fresh pieces of merch so fans can cosplay as a flaming tornado of lucha fury.
🚨 Item 1: Official Replica Mask
It’s sleek, it’s shiny, it looks like it could launch into space.
📦 Ships no later than July 18—presumably after WWE’s shipping department gets done testing it in zero gravity.
🚨 Item 2: Flame-Print T-Shirt
It’s bold. It’s fiery. It screams “I can do a 630 splash… emotionally.”
Fenix, who left AEW in March (after spending five years repeatedly hitting fast forward on his own skeleton), passed WWE’s medical tests—which we assume included checking for any remaining ligaments—and has signed on to SmackDown. His brother Penta, meanwhile, is on Raw doing spooky things and threatening Bron Breakker’s Intercontinental Title with finger guns and fury.
The brothers, though split across brands, now represent a new lucha wave surging into WWE’s ecosystem, much to the fear of ropes, gravity, and lower back discs everywhere.
Fenix brings with him a trophy shelf that includes accolades from AEW, Lucha Underground, AAA, Impact/TNA, MLW, and ROH—basically, if there’s been a ring on planet Earth, he’s moonsaulted off it.
And now, with WrestleMania 41 just two weeks away, Fenix’s arrival could be the spicy wildcard in WWE’s blue-brand blender. Whether or not he lands on the Mania card, one thing’s for sure: the merch is here, and it is muy fuego.
