Rey Fenix Calls Out WWE Over Booking

Rey Fenix, who joined WWE in 2025 after a period with AEW, has expressed his dissatisfaction with his current booking within the Stamford-based promotion. He has voiced his ambition to compete for a prominent championship, specifically mentioning the Intercontinental Championship, which his brother Penta currently holds. Fenix's critique of WWE's creative direction came to light when he reacted to the announcement of Penta's upcoming Intercontinental Championship defense against Ethan Page on May 23, 2026, at Saturday Night's Main Event in Fort Wayne.

The wrestler's public comments have elicited a mixed response from fans on social media platforms like X. Some users have criticized his decision to leave AEW, while others have admonished him, suggesting he might not receive significant opportunities or championship matches in WWE. One fan pointed out that the booking by the Triple H-led creative team was perceived as 'unfair.'

Fenix's recent in-ring activity for WWE includes a singles match loss to Trick Williams in February and appearances in 'The Funeral of The Gingerbread Man' segment on SmackDown. He has also been active in Lucha Libre AAA and on Main Event. Notably, Fenix was not featured on the card for WrestleMania 42, while his brother Penta competed in a significant match and successfully defended the Intercontinental Championship he won from Dominik Mysterio earlier in the year. Penta is presently in a feud with Ethan Page, who aims to win the championship.
