With Penta’s immediate success in WWE, fans are eager to see Rey Fenix join his brother, especially given that its been months since he appeared for AEW. Speaking with Lalo Elizarrarás, Fenix shared that he remains under contract with AEW and is waiting to be contacted.
“I’m still under contract with an additional extension. I am waiting to be used, to be called to work, or to have my situation clarified a little more”.
Fenix hasn’t competed for AEW since the July 20, 2024, edition of Collision, which saw the masked star defeat Tony Nese. Though his contract with AEW was set to expire in 2024, Tony Khan opted to tack time on to cover Fenix missing ring time due to various injuries. This act sparked debate among fans as while Khan has the right to do what he’s done, many believe that adding time to a talent that isn’t being used is a ‘petty’ move by the AEW President.
Fenix has alluded to growing issues in AEW, even saying that reports of a “huge injustice” within the promotion is accurate. Fenix has also alluded to receiving “inhumane treatment” and has claimed he was ignored when requiring medical help, though these posts have since been deleted.

With no sign of an AEW return, Fenix is keeping himself busy off of TV. In the interview, Fenix shared how he is seeking personal growth as he awaits an update on his in-ring future.
“I have more time to train. I have more time to perfect my skills. I have more time to create new things, to work on my injuries, to work on my body, and mainly, to work on my head.”
Fenix acknowledged that he could be seeking personal growth while working, but that “nobody stays in a place where they are not wanted.” With no sign of AEW or Fenix reaching an agreement, fans may be waiting a long time before they see the masked star compete in a ring on TV again.
