The high-flying luchador is expected to debut soon with creative plans already underway

Summary

– Rey Fenix is officially under contract with WWE, according to multiple sources

– WWE creative pitches and merchandise planning have begun for his arrival

– Fenix quietly exited AEW earlier this month under a non-disparagement clause

After weeks of teases and growing speculation, Rey Fenix is officially WWE-bound. Fightful Español confirmed the signing, with additional backing from Sean Ross Sapp and WrestleVotes, who reported that Fenix has either signed or is on the verge of finalizing the deal. WWE is already preparing merchandise and mapping creative plans, signaling their confidence in his debut.

Fenix’s quiet exit from AEW earlier this month was a surprise, especially since the company could extend his contract due to injury time. Instead, they allowed him to walk, reportedly with a non-disparagement clause tied to vague allegations about inhumane treatment. AEW has not issued a public statement.

While initial reports suggest Fenix is headed to SmackDown, WWE is known for making last-minute changes, especially when big debuts are involved. Whether he appears before or after WrestleMania 41, one thing is certain—Rey Fenix is bringing his explosive style to WWE, and his arrival is already making waves.
