According to Fightful Select, Fenix is expected to undergo WWE’s medical evaluation process in the near future. Sources believe his signing is imminent barring any unexpected complications.
The report also reveals that WWE has already begun brainstorming merchandise concepts for Fenix, providing another strong sign that his arrival is considered a foregone conclusion internally.
Fenix’s AEW departure came through unusual circumstances. Despite having the contractual ability to extend his deal due to injury time, AEW opted to grant his release request.
The situation reportedly involved complex negotiations. Sources indicate Fenix made “vague allegations about inhumane treatment” that AEW privately disputed but never addressed publicly.
Those familiar with the situation believe Fenix had to agree to a non-disparagement clause as a condition of securing his exit from the promotion.
Earlier reporting suggested Fenix’s WWE arrival could happen rapidly. Backstage expectations indicate he will join the company “sooner rather than later” with some speculating he might even appear on the WrestleMania card.
Fenix’s brother Penta reportedly signed with WWE after his AEW contract expired, potentially setting up a reunion of the renowned tag team in WWE.
With WrestleMania 41 approaching on April 19-20 in Las Vegas, WWE has an ideal platform to introduce Fenix on wrestling’s biggest stage should they finalize his contract in time.
The former AEW star brings an electrifying high-flying style that could instantly make him a standout performer in WWE’s current roster landscape.
