Lucha Bros Expiring AEW Contracts & Expected Joining WWE Update – Rey Fenix Pulls Out of Indie Booking

As noted before, The Lucha Brothers’ Penta El Zero Miedo’s contract with AEW is currently set to expire between this August and September while Rey Fenix’s contract is currently set to expire this September. The Lucha Bros are currently expected to be joining WWE once their AEW contracts expire.

Texas-based indies promotion New Era Wrestling announced on Facebook on Thursday that Fenix had pulled out of his scheduled booking with the company for their The Final Battle event on September 27th.

“To our fans: Rey Fenix will be unable to participate in our lucha libre event on September 27th due to personal circumstances. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, as it is beyond our control. However, we remain committed to delivering the finest lucha libre experience in El Paso. We assure you of this promise. Please stay tuned for updates regarding the event lineup.”

In regards to Penta, TheCubsFan reported that his sources stated that Penta has been “cagey” about fulfilling the indies bookings he had agreed to for later this year. It was announced that some of these bookings have yet to be officially announced and normally this would not be a problem in fulfilling unless Penta thought he might be heading to WWE. It was also reported that this would match Penta’s behavior of late that had been reported on by Fightful.
