AEW had the option to extend Fenix’s contract due to injury time but opted to grant his release instead. The situation reportedly involved “vague allegations about inhumane treatment” that AEW denied privately but never addressed publicly. Sources believe Fenix had to agree to a non-disparagement clause to secure his release.

WrestleVotes reports that a WWE source indicated Fenix’s arrival could happen very soon. The source stated they “wouldn’t be surprised if Fenix ends up on the WM card” but noted “there’s no exact timeline in place.”

WrestleMania is scheduled for the near future, potentially providing WWE with an opportunity to introduce Fenix in a significant way.
