Update on Lucha Bros as Penta El Zero Miedo denies AEW departure - Reports

Rumors have been swirling regarding AEW's Lucha Bros—Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix—potentially signing with WWE once their current contracts expire. A new update has dropped on their current status as Penta lashes out against the speculation online.

Recent reports have indicated that The Lucha Bros are WWE-bound once their current deals in AEW are up. Penta El Zero Miedo was even rumored to be present in Orlando this week, the home of WWE's Performance Center. However, Penta struck back at these reports today on social media.

Fightful Select has heard claims that Penta told friends his All Elite contract had already expired, although this could not be confirmed. According to AEW insiders, the promotion could end up extending the deals for both Penta and Fenix due to injury time, assuming the former's hasn't expired yet.

Penta El Zero Miedo's backlash against the rumors of his imminent departure is seen, per AEW sources, as an effort to clear any hurdles for his brother, Rey Fenix, whose deal runs a bit longer than Penta's.

Tony Khan has reportedly offered The Lucha Bros a deal that is comparable to WWE's offer, but rumors persist that Penta and Fenix aren't interested in doing business ahead of their exit. Prior reports indicated that the luchadors had delayed all attempts by the Jacksonville-based promotion to re-sign them.

As for All Elite Wrestling, Fightful noted that several talents had suspected the rumors of Penta's WWE dealings were true but were still shocked to see the reports.
