How people within WWE were said to have reacted to Rey Fenix’s social media posts

It was reported in August of 2024 that sources in AEW expected The Lucha Brothers (Penta and Rey Fenix) to leave the company when their contracts expired with the belief being that they would join WWE. However, it was later stated that AEW President Tony Khan decided to “tack on injury time” to Fenix’s contract.

Over the past week, Fenix published several posts via Twitter/X. Fenix wrote “I will have my chance to speak the truth” followed by “no one stays in a place where they received inhumane treatment.” Fenix later posted, “I needed a doctor and you ignored me for months.”

During a Q&A from Sportskeeda.com’s Backstage Pass Patreon, the following was said in regards to Fenix’s social media posts…

“Hearing that there were those in the WWE that were surprised yesterday with the Rey Fenix tweets. Not to say that they’re not interested anymore, I’m sure that didn’t change, but there were some eyebrows raised over those tweets, especially if you’re going to put that out there publicly. I think WWE is going to do some digging into what’s going on……

So that doctor one, you know, my phone started to buzz a little bit afterwards about just the surprise from a few WWE staffers that really didn’t have a pulse on to what may or may not be going on over there with Rey Fenix. So I just think it raised eyebrows throughout the whole wrestling world, and it did, certainly, you know, in Stanford.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
