The Lucha Brothers, composed of real-life siblings Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix, have been a dynamic force in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since their debut in 2019. Known for their breathtaking Lucha Libre style, innovative maneuvers, and thrilling matches against top-tier teams like the Young Bucks and Private Party, they quickly became fan favorites. Their high-octane performances and undeniable chemistry solidified their place as one of the most popular and successful tag teams in the promotion. From winning the AEW World Tag Team Championship to forming the formidable trio Death Triangle with Pac, the Lucha Brothers have left an indelible mark on AEW’s history. However, recent developments indicate a significant shift in the brothers’ careers, with Penta El Zero Miedo’s departure from AEW seemingly confirmed.
The wrestling world was abuzz with rumors and speculation regarding the Lucha Brothers’ contract status with AEW. These rumors gained traction when Fightful, a prominent wrestling news outlet, reported Penta’s removal from the official AEW roster page. This digital erasure, seemingly confirming his exit from the company, followed an earlier report by Fightful Select indicating the expiration of Penta’s contract. While the circumstances surrounding his departure remain undisclosed, the removal from the roster page serves as a strong indication that Penta El Zero Miedo is now a free agent, opening up a new chapter in his wrestling journey.
The future of Rey Fenix with AEW, however, appears to be different. While his brother’s contract has expired, Fenix reportedly remains under contract with AEW. The difference in their contractual situations is attributed to time Fenix spent sidelined due to injuries. This staggered departure creates an interesting dynamic for the Lucha Brothers, as they navigate their careers on potentially separate paths for the first time in their AEW tenure.
Speculation regarding the Lucha Brothers’ future destinations is rampant, with many anticipating a move to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The prospect of the Lucha Brothers facing off against established WWE tag teams like the New Day, the Motor City Machine Guns, and The Street Profits has ignited the imaginations of wrestling fans. The potential for dream matches and captivating storylines within the WWE landscape adds another layer of intrigue to the brothers’ next career move. While their individual paths may diverge for a time, the possibility of a reunion within WWE remains a tantalizing prospect.
The Lucha Brothers’ journey to professional wrestling prominence began with a shared passion for the sport. Starting their training on the same day, they made their in-ring debut together at the 2015 Battle of Los Angeles with Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG). This marked the beginning of their rise through the independent wrestling scene, honing their skills and developing their unique tag team synergy. Prior to their AEW debut, the Lucha Brothers made their presence felt in various promotions, including AAW, Major League Wrestling (MLW), and Impact Wrestling, further solidifying their reputations as a force to be reckoned with.
Their arrival in AEW in February 2019 was marked by a dramatic attack on The Young Bucks, immediately establishing them as major players in the newly formed promotion. One of their most defining moments came at All Out, where they triumphed over The Young Bucks to capture the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Beyond their tag team success, they also found success as part of Death Triangle, winning the AEW World Trios Championship alongside Pac. Furthermore, Rey Fenix achieved individual recognition by defeating Jon Moxley for the AEW International Championship, showcasing his versatility and prowess as a singles competitor. As both Penta and Fenix embark on new chapters in their careers, the wrestling world eagerly awaits their next moves and the potential for continued success in whatever promotions they choose.
