WWE SmackDown on March 14, 2025 showed a short video featuring a mysterious Luchador. Many believe that could lead to the potential arrival of Rey Fenix in WWE. This follows a wave of speculations on his status in wrestling following his release from All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
Many saw the move happening after the luchador showed frustration with AEW for the way they handled his injury. With his elder brother Penta already working for WWE, it makes sense for Fenix to join his brother. However the vignette was teased on SmackDown which could keep the younger sibling of Lucha Bros away from Penta.

Rey Fenix’s Background
Rey Fenix is widely believed to be one of the top luchadores in wrestling. He had fought mainly for AEW, as well as Lucha Underground and Impact Wrestling. He is more infamously known, though, for being half of the hugely successful tag team known as The Lucha Brothers. His other half is Penta El Zero Miedo, his brother.
There had also been a whole other wrinkle to this, given that his contract was put on hold when he was out due to injury in AEW programming. Initially word had it that he had been released from AEW as per Dave Meltzer, and in doing so, made space for WWE to bring him on board.
The Teaser Vignette
WWE ran some vignettes for their episode in Barcelona, Spain on March 14, 2025, indicating Rey Fenix’s arrival to WWE SmackDown. There was a masked wrestler on the ropes; it was set against a backdrop of bright orange lighting effects and considerable thick smoke, creating mystery regarding the wrestler.
While no announcements or on-screen text indicated this was him, Rey Fenix was speculated as the most probable candidate for the tease. Especially since this had been something of an open secret for wrestling fans and analysts.
And this teaser seems to support the idea that WWE had planned for him to be signed on after being released from AEW. That also makes sense on the timing side, as WWE will most likely start bringing him out shortly after his European tour concludes.
Implications of His Arrival
Separation from Penta:
Penta is currently under contract with WWE and competing in Monday Night Raw. Yes, Fenix’s vignette was shown on SmackDown. This suggests that Rey Fenix will be introduced as a singles star and separate from his brother.
Revitalizing Tag Team Division:
If both brothers happen to reunite in WWE, they could add quite a bit of value to either brand Raw or SmackDown which desperately needs for strong tag teams.
Fan Excitement:
Fans are impatiently waiting to see what Rey Fenix will contribute to WWE, given that he is one of professional wrestling’s best high-flyers today.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the latest WWE vignette strongly hints that Rey Fenix will be welcomed into the promotion. It will mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his wrestling career. The Lucha Brothers’ highly anticipated tag team in WWE would be fun to watch.
