Lucha Bros Star Clarifies Contract Situation, Leaving Future Plans Open
Summary
– Penta El Zero Miedo confirms he is still under contract with AEW, addressing rumors of a move to WWE.
– Penta has left contract negotiations and future plans in the hands of his legal team.
– Despite ongoing rumors, Penta emphasizes his current focus on AEW and performing for the fans.
Penta El Zero Miedo, one-half of the iconic Lucha Bros tag team, has spoken out about his status with AEW amid swirling rumors linking him and his brother, Rey Fenix, to a possible WWE move. In an interview with Mas Lucha, Penta clarified his current situation, confirming that he remains under contract with AEW.
Addressing the speculation, Penta stated, “I am still under contract with AEW, that is my present.” He further explained that while he focuses on performing for AEW fans, he has entrusted his legal team to handle contract negotiations and future plans.
Over the summer, reports suggested that WWE wanted to sign Penta and Fenix as a package deal, possibly for a main roster debut. Despite AEW offering new contracts to the duo, they have yet to sign. Interestingly, AEW added time to Penta’s contract due to injury-related absences, a practice common in both AEW and WWE. Fenix, who has faced similar injury challenges, reportedly has more time remaining on his contract.
Penta has been active by wrestling in Mexico during his absence from AEW television. However, since his last appearance on the July 19 episode of AEW Rampage, his future with the promotion remains a subject of much speculation. Despite the uncertainty, Penta has clarified that he is committed to AEW for now, stating, “I’m still firm with them, and quite frankly, I don’t know what will happen in the future.”
There has been no official word from WWE regarding the rumors of the Lucha Bros potentially joining their roster. Fans closely watch the situation as Penta and Fenix navigate the next steps in their wrestling careers.
