Now things are not going so well and we know a bit more about what happened.

Earlier this year, Penta El Zero Miedo left AEW when his contract expired while his brother Rey Fenix hoped to leave, only to have his contract extended. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the two felt they had “stagnated” in AEW and heard that WWE was interested in signing them.

Opinion: This is something that makes sense and it isn’t that much of a surprise. The team has not been used very much lately in AEW and if the company is not going to feature either of them, what is the point in staying?
