WWE has begun internal preparations for Rey Fenix’s potential arrival, according to The Wrestling Observer. The Creative Writing Team is reportedly crafting plans for the high-flyer’s introduction to the main roster, indicating his signing may be closer than previously thought.
This development follows the stunning WWE debut of Fenix’s brother Penta earlier this year. Penta has maintained significant momentum since joining the company, remaining undefeated in singles competition.
The Lucha Brothers were originally expected to join WWE together, but their departure from AEW hit complications when Tony Khan extended Rey’s contract due to injury time. This contract situation had reportedly tied Rey to AEW until later this year.

These new creative preparations suggest a potential shift in the situation. While no confirmation exists that Khan has released Fenix from his contract, this internal WWE planning indicates the company anticipates his arrival in the near future.
The timing aligns with earlier reports that followed AEW’s release of several talents including Ricky Starks, Miro, and Malakai Black, when Khan was said to be considering letting Rey out of his deal. This latest development might signal Khan has finally changed his position on the matter.
No specific timetable has been provided for when Rey might become a free agent or potentially debut with WWE.
