Earlier this year, Penta El Zero Miedo severed ties with AEW, while Rey Fenix, albeit contracted, is anticipated to depart as his contract term ends. Speculations are rife that The Lucha Brothers will likely become part of WWE sooner rather than later. The debut of Penta in WWE seems imminent, as indicated by the aired vignettes alluding to his arrival.
Moreover, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Lucha Brothers’ decision to part ways with AEW stemmed from a feeling of stagnation within the company, coupled with the knowledge of WWE’s expressed interest in them.
Despite efforts by AEW President Tony Khan to keep them on-board through lucrative salary proposals, The Lucha Brothers were firm in their resolution to move on. When the topic of contract renewals came up, The Lucha Brothers redirected these discussions to their agent, sending a clear signal of their impending departure to AEW authorities. This event precipitated Tony Khan’s decision to cease their TV appearances.
