Rey Fenix AEW Contract & Absence Update – Fenix Claims He Needed a Doctor & Was Ignored by AEW for Months

As noted before, The Lucha Brothers’ Rey Fenix’s contract had been originally set to expire this past September. AEW recently added almost a full year’s worth of injury time to Fenix’s contract and currently have no plans to release him. Fenix recently claimed on social media that he received “inhumane treatment” in AEW.

Fenix provided an update earlier today on Twitter claiming that he needed a doctor and AEW had ignored him for months.

I needed a doctor and you ignored me for months.

The Pancakes and Powerslams podcast’s Dr. Chris Featherstone reported on Twitter that a source within AEW spoken to on November 20th stated that the alleged excuse that AEW CEO Tony Khan found out about the Lucha Brothers being in talks with WWE is “fake news” and the real reason will be revealed soon. Featherstone reported that there is a “real story” behind Fenix’s situation and was described to be a “huge injustice.” This same source reportedly also stated that the Lucha Bros are currently expected to go more in-depth about their time in AEW when they are free and clear to do so and “when they do, it is going to be ugly.”

Fenix responded to Featherstone’s report stating that what was stated was accurate and confirmed that he currently can not speak about it due to contractual issues but he will be able to do so in the future.

so far the most accurate comment.
