The wrestling world is abuzz with the latest developments surrounding the dynamic Lucha Bros duo, Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix, who appear to be on the verge of heading to WWE. Known for their high-flying and electrifying performances, the brothers have captivated audiences worldwide, most recently as part of All Elite Wrestling (AEW). According to a report from Fightful, however, their journey to WWE has not been without its challenges.
As per the report, Penta has openly discussed his conversations with WWE over the summer, expressing a desire to bypass NXT, the company’s developmental brand. He emphasized that both he and his brother, Fenix, should be considered a package deal. This aspiration aligns with WWE’s long-standing interest in Fenix, making such a transition plausible. However, Penta has denied these reports publicly. Intriguingly, he reportedly mentioned being in Orlando, home to WWE’s Performance Center, this week, even as he maintains a booking in Mexico on Thursday.
From the AEW camp, reactions have been mixed. Although some suspected the possibility of the Lucha Bros seeking a new horizon, seeing these rumors solidify in print was surprising. AEW reportedly proposed a new deal to the brothers, matching what Penta claimed WWE was offering. However, the specifics of these agreements remain unverified due to the complex nature of wrestling contracts. Notably, Penta claims his AEW contract has already expired, though he remains listed on the company’s roster, suggesting potential disputes over contract extensions or expirations.
Interestingly, there are internal murmurs within AEW that suggest Penta’s public denials may be a strategic move, perhaps aimed at easing his brother Fenix’s transition without legal entanglements. The situation remains fluid, with various angles and outcomes still in play.
In light of these developments, several questions arise: How will AEW respond if the Lucha Bros do make the jump to WWE? Could this potential move signal a wave of other talents seeking opportunities with major promotions like WWE? How might this shake-up affect the Lucha Libre style in mainstream wrestling?
As fans eagerly await official announcements, the wrestling landscape continues to evolve, with Penta and Rey Fenix potentially at the forefront of shaping future narratives in the industry.
