However, reports indicated that he was released from AEW earlier this month, paving the way for potential opportunities elsewhere, particularly in WWE.

On March 14, 2025, during an episode of WWE SmackDown aired in Barcelona, Spain, a vignette was broadcast that hinted at Rey Fenix’s imminent debut.

Although no text or direct references were made to Fenix within the video itself, it was widely interpreted by fans and analysts alike as a clear nod to him.
