    Definitely a bit of a head scratcher…Penta’s not short on places that he’s friendly with that he and Fenix could work together over the next year, and from all reports he and Fenix aren’t trying to burn any bridges (assuming that doesn’t change with this) with AEW so he could def come back for a year…

    Only thing I don’t see him doing is a WWE solo act. He’s supposedly been clear for a long while that his primary goals in the business right now is working as a team with Fenix, not as a solo act. That being said this is a weird situation so who knows~

      (assuming that doesn’t change with this)

      From where I’m sitting this is Tony doing the meme of the girl smiling while the house burns behind her.

      I still think this type of control veers heavily into employee status and not “independent contractor” status and it sucks ass for Fenix because he’s the only one getting hurt by this. AEW has so many workers, half of which aren’t used, that him leaving doesn’t mean shit, and WWE is so far ahead of AEW in terms of business that this doesn’t hurt WWE at all either, so only the Lucha Brothers are harmed here.

        Also not a good thing to do when one is currently being sued about said status lmao.
