AEW is reportedly “tacking on injury time” to Rey Fenix’s contract with the company
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. While reports surfaced that the Lucha Brothers signed multi-year contracts with WWE, those claims were said to have been premature.
Accordong to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, there are several reasons for Penta wanting to leave AEW including frustration with how he was being used. Meltzer wrote the following…
“Officially the story that has to be said is that he has not negotiated with WWE but will do so when his AEW deal expires. The word is that WWE made him a competitive offer so that solidified his decision to leave.”
In regards to Fenix, Meltzer stated that AEW is currently “tacking on injury time” to his contract which is close to a year. AEW President Tony Khan reportedly made The Lucha Brothers “significant offers” to stay with the company but they turned them down.
In an Instagram post this week, Fenix wrote “Thanks for everything” with various pictures of him and Penta.
