Former champion set to leave AEW for WWE due to "frustration" with his booking - Reports

A former Champion in AEW is set to leave the promotion soon due to frustrations and is expected to sign with WWE. The name in question is none other than Penta El Zero Miedo.

Penta El Zero alongside Rey Fenix are known as the Lucha Bros and have been a part of AEW since 2019 and are former World Tag Team Champions. Both men are reportedly WWE-bound once their All Elite contracts expire, however, some recent reports revealed that Tony Khan is looking to add injury time to Rey Fenix' contract which could tarnish the plans for the duo moving to the WWE as a Tag Team.

In a recent report by Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was revealed that Penta's contract is set to expire in the next two months. WWE has made him a competitive offer and the highflyer is expected to negotiate with the promotion once he's a free agent.

"Penta’s AEW deal is up within the next two months. Officially the story that has to be said is that he has not negotiated with WWE, but will do so when his AEW deal expires. The word is that WWE made him a competitive offer, so that solidified his decision to leave. There are a lot of reasons leading to his decision to leave, including frustration." - WON
