The Lucha Bros, comprising Fenix and Penta El Zero Miedo, have captivated wrestling fans around the globe with their high-flying maneuvers and charismatic presence. Known for their exceptional talent and dedication to the craft, they have left an indelible mark on the wrestling scene, showcasing their prowess in promotions such as Lucha Underground, Impact Wrestling, and most notably, All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Their impactful performances have earned them recognition as one of the top tag teams in professional wrestling today.
According to a recent report by Fightful, speculation has been swirling regarding the future of this dynamic duo. Earlier this year, Bodyslam reported that Penta’s contract with AEW was set to expire in 2023. Fightful added that Fenix’s deal is also nearing its end, with the timeline suggesting a conclusion around September. It appears the brothers have communicated to close associates that Penta’s contract would end first, followed by Fenix’s.
AEW has shown interest in retaining the Lucha Bros, aiming to renew their contracts. However, the re-signing process has faced delays attributed to Penta and Fenix’s strategic considerations. Over recent weeks, it has become increasingly clear to AEW that the Lucha Bros might not be inclined to renew their contracts. Konnan, a close associate, amplified this speculation with a cryptic tweet: “What goes around comes around 2,” hinting at potential changes ahead.
Adding to the intrigue, Ibou of WrestlePurists reported that the Lucha Bros are expected to transition to WWE. Sources suggest internal discussions within WWE regarding their potential entry into the company. It is believed that Penta and Fenix are keen on joining as a package deal and have expressed reluctance in joining WWE’s NXT brand. A source close to the Lucha Bros hinted that preparations for this significant move to WWE might occur sooner than anticipated.
The most surprising development shared by Fightful is the openness with which sources close to the duo have discussed their talks with WWE. There are claims of a preliminary offer from WWE, reportedly comparable to AEW’s offer. Despite these rumors, WWE sources have remained tight-lipped, declining to comment on the matter.
As the wrestling world eagerly awaits the next chapter for the Lucha Bros, fans are left with several questions: Will the Lucha Bros officially make the leap to WWE? How will this move impact their careers and the wrestling landscape? Are there other factors influencing their decision that have yet to come to light?
