The Lucha Brothers have been a staple of AEW’s tag-team division because the firm started in Could 2019. Comprised of Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix, the tag crew has been a staple on each “AEW Dynamite” and “AEW Collision.”
Nonetheless, the luchadors have performed every little thing there may be to do inside the firm. They’ve held the tag crew and trios championships. They’ve had big-time matches and sizzling storylines.
Now, each Penta and Fenix are anticipated to depart the corporate on the finish of their contracts.
“Those who we’ve spoken to consider that the Lucha Bros need to be a bundle deal and don’t need to go to NXT,” Fightful Select reported on Thursday. “One supply near the duo says it wouldn’t be shocking to see him in Orlando to arrange for the defection earlier than later. Maybe probably the most shocking component is that we’ve had quite a few sources near the duo that say they’ve been fairly open in claiming that they’ve had WWE talks already and that there’s a preliminary supply on the desk much like that of what AEW was providing.”
Assuming WWE honors their needs, it might make sense to see the Lucha Brothers’ debut on RAW, offering a much-needed jolt to the tag-team division.
Throughout AEW’s rise to prominence, Tony Khan’s firm constructed the majority of its providing round a heavy deal with tag-team wrestling. Penta and Fenix would convey high-flying physicality to no matter model they landed with.
Penta and Fenix would be a part of a rising checklist of former AEW abilities in WWE. Cody Rhodes, Shawn Spears, Ethan Web page and Jade Cargill are unfold out all through the corporate, each with their own form of success.
They is also joined by Ricky Starks, who can also be anticipated to make the jump on the finish of his personal contract.
Dropping the Lucha Brothers can be a major hit to AEW’s tag-team division. They have been a staple for years and are one of many extra proficient duos the corporate has to supply. Their exit would come shortly after AEW misplaced tag crew legends The Hardy Brothers earlier this year.
Nonetheless, seeing Penta and Fenix in WWE can be a breath of recent air, as there can be numerous untapped storylines and matches for them to work via. On paper, it is a transfer that makes excellent sense for everybody besides AEW.
Sadly, Khan’s firm is susceptible to shedding a few of its homegrown expertise, so we might even see one other recruitment drive earlier than the top of the 12 months.
