Former champion seemingly alleges "inhumane treatment" in AEW; hints at departure
A former AEW World Tag Team Champion shared a cryptic message seemingly alleging not being treated kindly by the Jacksonville-based promotion. The star likely hinted at a departure from Tony Khan's company as well.
Rey Fenix of The Luchabros tag team has been an AEW Original, signing with the promotion in 2019. Apart from being a former World Tag Team Champion with his brother, Penta El Zero Miedo, he is also a former World Trios Champion ( with Miedo and PAC), and International Champion during his run with All Elite Wrestling.
Meanwhile, Rey Fenix has been rumored to depart AEW for the past few months as the speculations of his contract expiry surfaced. However, Tony Khan reportedly tucked in injury time on Fenix's contract, thereby not allowing him to leave for another year. Khan reportedly made lucrative deals for Rey to stay as well.
Amid all the speculations regarding his contract status and a possible move to WWE, Rey Fenix sent out a cryptic message on social media. Fenix took to his X (fka Twitter) account to seemingly hint at his departure from All Elite Wrestling, citing "inhumane treatment" in the promotion.
"No one stays in a place where they received inhumane treatment," he wrote.
