The wrestling world could soon witness another high-profile free agency with Penta El Zero Miedo’s AEW contract reportedly expiring this summer. In 2019, he joined his brother, Ray Fenix, as A.E.W. According to a report by Lucha Libre Online , Penta’s contract is set to expire in August or September 2024. While there are no confirmed details regarding ongoing negotiations for a new deal, it is set note that if he becomes a… free agent.
The report did not mention Ray Fenix, possibly due to Fenix’s contract being extended due to injury. This situation is consistent with A.E.W.
Penta El Zero Miedo also had great success as a tag team and triathlon champion in AEW. The Lucha Brothers and his brother Ray Fenix won both the AEW and ROH World Tag Team Championships. Additionally, as part of the Death Triangle with the PAC, the AEW World Triangle Championship has been held. Despite this improvement, Penta has yet to win a singles title in AEW, a feat that even his brother Fenix has not accomplished.
Penta’s most recent in-ring appearance was a losing effort against Konosuke Takeshita on the May 31 episode of “AEW Rampage,” competing for a spot in the TNT Championship ladder match at Forbidden Door. Prior to that, he teamed with Fenix and PAC in an attempt to capture the Unified AEW Trios Titles from Bullet Club Gold at Double or Nothing, but the trio fell short against the Bang Bang Gang. Penta is scheduled to face The Butcher on the June 7 episode of “Rampage.”
The looming expiration of Penta’s contract and the potential interest from WWE add an intriguing layer to the ongoing dynamics within AEW. Should he choose to explore new opportunities, it could significantly impact the landscape of professional wrestling. Penta’s high-flying, lucha libre style has garnered him a dedicated fanbase, and his potential move to WWE would undoubtedly generate significant buzz and speculation.
