Rey Fenix’s father is a Mexican former professional wrestler known by his ring name, Fuego.
Fenix has been with AEW since the company launched in 2019, but his run has ended.
Highlights
- Rey Fenix has exited from AEW and is now a free agent. He is expected to join his brother Penta in WWE.
- Fenix was born to his father, Fuego, a former Mexican wrestler.
- His brother Penta participated in his first Royal Rumble match on February 1, 2025.
He no longer appears on the AEW roster on the company’s website, which means he is likely gone from the organization like other recently released wrestlers.
It has been confirmed that Rey Fenix is now a free agent. That likely opens the door for a WWE debut where he would join his older brother.
During his AEW career, Fenix was a former Tag Team Champion with his brother Penta. He is highly regarded for his high-flying skills in the ring and has been considered an excellent in-ring performer.
Fenix’s last match in AEW was in July 2024 on an episode of Collision.
He wanted to go to WWE in late 2024, but AEW chose to extend his deal due to time missed with the injury. He was essentially “benched” while being paid to sit at home.
A frustrated Fenix openly talked about the situation, saying, “Nobody stays in a place where they are not wanted.”
