As PWMania.com previously reported, it was initially believed that AEW might extend Rey Fenix’s contract due to injury-related time off. However, Fenix has now officially departed the company and is free to sign elsewhere. Reports suggest that WWE is the most likely destination, with sources indicating that Fanatics has already begun preparing merchandise for him and WWE’s creative team is actively working on storyline ideas in anticipation of his arrival.
Fightful Select reports that both Fenix and his brother, Penta, were rumored to be on their way out of AEW last year. However, their contracts were extended after AEW became aware of their discussions with WWE. The report also mentions that Fenix made vague claims about mistreatment within AEW, which the company privately denied while remaining publicly silent. His arrival in WWE is widely expected, and he is rumored to be making his debut on the main roster alongside Penta—potentially just in time for WrestleMania 41 next month.
Sources within AEW believe Fenix may have agreed to a non-disparagement clause as part of his departure. Previous reports suggested AEW was open to releasing him from his contract even before those allegations surfaced. Fenix had not appeared on AEW television for quite some time before officially exiting the company.
