Rey Fenix Raises Eyebrows In WWE With Anti-AEW Tirade
Rey Fenix recently hit out at AEW in a series of posts painting the company in a bad light and it seems the posts didn’t go unnoticed by WWE.
After months of uncertainty, it was reported on December 1st that Penta El Zero Miedo was now a free agent. The star, and his brother and tag team partner Rey Fenix, have been heavily linked with a move to WWE, but the path to the sports entertainment giant has been anything but straightforward.
Rey Fenix has expressed his unhappiness publicly as things between him and AEW threaten to turn ugly. Fenix has hinted that he was left needing a doctor but was ignored by the company at some point. Some believe Fenix may be trying to embarrass the company into offering him his release or by acting out in a way that Tony Khan may be forced to fire him, either option would potentially leave him free to join his brother in WWE or elsewhere.
Rey Fenix has since deleted his posts berating AEW but it seems they were noticed by those in WWE.
Rey Fenix Raises Eyebrows In WWE
WrestleVotes reported that some in WWE were surprised by the developments with Rey Fenix but that doesn’t mean the company isn’t interested in the star anymore:
Hearing that there were those in the WWE that were surprised yesterday with the Rey Fenix tweets. Not to say that they’re not interested anymore, I’m sure that didn’t change, but there were some eyebrows raised over those tweets, especially if you’re going to put that out there publicly.
I think WWE is going to do some digging into what’s going on……So that doctor one, you know, my phone started to buzz a little bit afterwards about just the surprise from a few WWE staffers that really didn’t have a pulse on to what may or may not be going on over there with Rey Fenix.
So I just think it raised eyebrows throughout the whole wrestling world, and it did, certainly, you know, in Stamford.
