Rey Fenix suffered a hand injury during Saturday’s AAA tapings at Gimnasio Olímpico Juan de la Barrera in Mexico City.
According to False Finish, the AAA World Cruiserweight Champion was able to finish the bout but felt the injury throughout the match. No further details on Fenix’s condition have been revealed.
Between Monday and Saturday, Fenix became the number one contender for Ethan Page’s Intercontinental Championship by defeating Chad Gable and Big Cass on Raw. He was then announced by Rey Mysterio as the newest member of Team Mexico for Survivor Series on SmackDown and earned a shot at the AAA World Trios Championship at the same AAA taping.
In July, Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that Fenix was seen in WWE as one of the lesser names on the roster, so his situation in the company appears to have turned around.
Fenix is advertised for next Saturday’s AAA on FOX, where he will team with La Parka and El Grande Americano to challenge Los Perros del Mal, the trio of Daga, Angel, and Berto. However, a date has not been announced for the match against Page.
We will keep an eye on Fenix’s status, with Survivor Series: WarGames now 13 days away. The event takes place on November 28 at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas.
