WWE backstage reaction to Rey Fenix’s AEW drama is here.
For the past couple of weeks, former tag-team champion, Fenix has been fighting his own battles with the promotion. With issues around his contract, Rey Fenix recently opened up on it and even discussed the “inhumane treatment” he received.
Recently, AEW’s backstage to the entire scenario came out, and now the Stamford-based promotion’s backstage reaction is out. As per SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Q&A, WrestleVotes noted that those within WWE were shocked by the tweets.
Hearing that there were those in the WWE that were surprised yesterday with the Rey Fenix tweets. Not to say that they’re not interested anymore, I’m sure that didn’t change, but there were some eyebrows raised over those tweets, especially if you’re going to put that out there publicly.
I think WWE is going to do some digging into what’s going on……So that doctor one, you know, my phone started to buzz a little bit afterwards about just the surprise from a few WWE staffers that really didn’t have a pulse on to what may or may not be going on over there with Rey Fenix. So I just think it raised eyebrows throughout the whole wrestling world, and it did, certainly, you know, in Stanford.”

It was suspected that Fenix and his brother, Penta El Zero Miedo would join WWE later after becoming free agents, but things did not go as planned. While Penta is now a free agent, Fenix finds himself glued to Tony Khan’s company.
