The situation between Rey Fenix and AEW continues.
According to Fightful Select, they reached out to AEW regarding Rey Fenix and his claims that he needed a doctor and that he was ignored by the company. The publication also said they reached out to Fenix for comment as well. At the time Fightful published their report, Fenix still had not responded.
Fightful Select notes they were told by a source that AEW would not comment on medical claims. Several sources within AEW also told Fightful that were surprised by Fenix’s most recent posts on social media pertaining to the situation.
One source confirmed to Fightful there have been communication issues between AEW and Fenix. The Source added they had not heard of anything they would deem as “inhumane.” It was further said however, by the same source, that no one in AEW has currently spoken to Fenix about his claims. The same AEW source told Fightful that Fenix was said to have taken up issues with the doctor that did not medically clear him for an in-ring return.
Another source within AEW that is said to be familiar with the situation told Fightful Select, Fenix’s claims are not true and that AEW was upset about reports that Fenix and his brother Penta Penta El Zero had discussions with WWE when they were both still under contract with AEW. The same source said to Fightful they also believed the reports that AEW was not upset by Fenix and Penta talking with WWE, while still under contract with AEW, was actually someone making the attempt to “babyface themselves” regarding the situation.
Fightful Select concluded by saying that there some within AEW that told them last week the company may just end up giving Fenix his early release, in which AEW added, would set an unfortunate precedent pertaining to the situation, as there is really no easy outcome.
Fenix’s brother Penta is currently a free agent, while Fenix is under contract with almost a year of injury added to his contract. Penta made a surprise appearance at the AAA Lucha Libre Worldwide television tapings last Saturday.
