While there were reports earlier in the year that Penta El Zero Miedo's AEW contract was expiring at some point this year, there's now word on the contract status of Penta's brother, Rey Fenix.

Via Fightful Select, Fenix's deal is also set to expire later this year, although the exact details of that expiration date aren't known at this stage. Much like Penta, it's expected that Rey Fenix will have notable interest from WWE should he opt to explore the free agency market.

AEW is keen to retain both Lucha Bros., and there have been talks in the hope of the hugely talented siblings re-signing with Tony Khan's All Elite Wrestling, with both men AEW Originals who made their company debut back at the inaugural Double or Nothing back in 2019.

Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix have worked for pretty much every promotion of note bar WWE, having competed for the likes of AAA, CMLL, TNA, NJPW, MLW, CZW, PWG, HOG, and of course being a part of the dearly-missed Lucha Underground.
