Lucha Brothers Sign Multi-Year WWE Deal: AEW Tag Champs Make Surprising Jump

One big thing: The Lucha Brothers are WWE-bound

Former AEW tag team champions Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix have reportedly signed a multi-year deal with WWE, ending months of speculation about their future.

Key details:

• The brothers are set to bypass NXT and head straight to the main roster.
• AEW President Tony Khan opted not to exercise an extension on Fenix’s contract, despite having the right to do so due to injury time.
• The duo leaves AEW after a five-year stint that saw them capture multiple titles.

Why it matters:

This move significantly bolsters WWE’s tag team division and brings two of the most dynamic performers in professional wrestling to the company. It also marks a notable departure from AEW, potentially shifting the balance of star power between the two promotions.

By the numbers:

• 2 – AEW Tag Team Championship reigns
• 1 – ROH Tag Team Championship reign
• 1 – AEW World Trios Championship reign
• 1 – AEW International Championship reign (Rey Fenix)

Behind the scenes:

Sources indicate that Khan’s decision to release Fenix from his contract was influenced by the wrestler’s loyalty and work ethic during his time with AEW. This goodwill gesture allowed the brothers to pursue their WWE aspirations together.

What’s next:

With their high-flying style and established fanbase, the Lucha Brothers are poised to make an immediate impact on WWE programming. Their debut will be closely watched by fans and industry insiders alike.
