During a recent interview, WWE’s Rey Fenix expressed his immense satisfaction with his current career path, stating he is “living the dream” he has had since childhood.
During a recent promotional interview for the July 18th Friday Night SmackDown in San Antonio, WWE superstar Rey Fenix opened up about his transition into the company. Speaking with “SA Live,” Fenix expressed a deep sense of fulfillment with his current career trajectory.
“That means a lot. It’s a dream come true,” Fenix stated. “The kid inside my heart, it’s very happy. I’m living the dream. I dream to be part of WWE universe from as a kid. So now, the dream come true and I’m very excited every day. I’m so happy.”
A significant moment for Fenix was his unexpected debut at WrestleMania 41, where he faced Chad Gable. The match came together at the last minute, as Fenix stepped in for an injured Rey Mysterio less than two weeks after his own company debut in April 2025.
“I remember the moment and still being nervous and I have no words to describe how amazing — I remember that day was incredible from that first hour,” he recalled. “When I received the message, like, ‘You have to work WrestleMania today.’ It was no words in my mouth. It was like, my mind blowing up. I can’t believe it. But so happy because I did it.”

Fenix also shared the pride he felt watching his older brother, Penta, compete for the Intercontinental Championship on the same stage. Penta had joined WWE just a few months prior in January 2025.
“I had this picture in my mind, these two kids, playing wrestling on my mom’s bed. Jumping from the couch to the floor, and playing as a kid… and with this big dream and that night, WrestleMania night, was indescribable,” Fenix said. “My brother is my older brother but I see him just more like a older brother, like my dad. So happy and very, very proud of my brother and of myself for sure.”
