Penta El Zero Miedo Confirms He's Still Signed With AEW, Willing To Make Return

It seems as though Penta El Zero Miedo isn’t quite out of AEW just yet, despite expectations that the former AEW World Tag Team Champion was set to depart the brand for WWE.

Reports had suggested that Pentagon had departed the promotion for WWE with brother Rey Fenix, but such reports were wide of the mark. Now with suggestions that AEW are adding time on to Fenix’s deal due to injury the pair’s exit doesn’t appear as straightforward as it once did, with Penta saying the following about his status during a conversation with Mas Lucha:

“It’s like I was saying, everyone defends their interests. Tony [Khan] is defending his interests and we are defending our own. I’ll say this; I am still under contract with AEW, that is my present. I have not thought about my future because I prefer to think about my here and now, and my now is AEW. If they decided to not have us in matches, that’s their thing, but I am ready for the day they need me to go to work with the same energy and enthusiasm I’ve always had.

"We will see what happens in future months, but I am still in AEW and I cannot even think about talking to another company because that is not of my involvement. My legal team, lawyers and that stuff will handle everything relating to contracts and the like, but my job is inside that ring and with the fans. Everything that happens outside of that will be handled by people in their areas. My present in AEW, I’m still firm with them and, quite frankly, I don’t know what will happen in the future,” said Penta.

The Lucha Brothers - alongside former Death Triangle partner PAC - were originally scheduled to win the AEW World Trios Championships at All In London in August 2024, but Penta and Fenix were pulled from the show. Further reports had suggested the Lucha Brothers were unwilling to 'do business' on their way out of AEW, with Penta last wrestling on AEW TV in July 2024, the promotion seemingly unwilling to use the duo.
