During a recent episode of the No-Contest Wrestling podcast hosted by O’Shea Jackson Jr. and T.J. Jefferson, WWE Intercontinental Champion Penta shared his high regard for his brother, Rey Fenix. Speaking about Rey’s abilities, Penta declared that, in his personal view, Rey Fenix is the best luchador worldwide due to his spectacular style and speed.
I always say the same, for me, in my personal opinion, my brother is one of the best luchadors in the world because he is very spectacular. He is like seven years younger than me. That’s why he is faster. When I saw my brother’s matches, it’s like, ‘Wow, it’s incredible.’ This guy is like, for me, the best luchador in the world. It’s an honor for me to tag team with my brother again.

Bro, it’s very special for me right now because I know my brother is on SmackDown. He start to build his career, you know, little by little.

Impact of Past Injuries and Future Prospects
The Lucha Brothers were scheduled to team up in December 2025 at an event for AAA, facing Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano. However, Penta suffered a shoulder injury that prevented their collaboration at the time. Despite such setbacks, Penta continues to compete while recovering from a torn bicep, demonstrating his commitment to wrestling.
Their reunion under WWE’s banner is highly anticipated, as the brothers aim to become leading figures in the tag team division. Penta’s praise highlights Rey Fenix’s status as the best luchador, solidifying their reputation within both WWE and the wider wrestling world.
Significance of the Lucha Bros’ WWE Presence
With Penta holding the WWE Intercontinental Championship and Rey Fenix gaining momentum on SmackDown, the Lucha Brothers are positioned to leave a major impact on WWE’s tag team division. Their combined talent and chemistry excite fans and industry insiders alike, promising high-flying, dynamic performances.
This potential reunion and pursuit of tag team championships could elevate WWE’s tag division and reinforce the global prominence of luchadors in professional wrestling. As both continue to build their careers, expectations remain high for the explosive return of the Lucha Bros as a dominant tag team force.
