Fans eager to see The Lucha Brothers together again on WWE television have been met with a delay, which Rey Fenix says is a deliberate choice. On March 10, 2026, during an appearance on the RRBG Inc. podcast, Fenix addressed why he and Penta haven’t yet reunited despite their success as a tag team, emphasizing that the waiting period is strategic, allowing both to develop individually before coming back together.
Building Individual Identities Before Teaming Up Again
Fenix shared that although he misses partnering with his brother in the ring, he views their current separation as an opportunity rather than a setback. He emphasized the importance of showcasing their individual talents and personalities to the WWE audience before rekindling their famous partnership. This perspective sheds light on WWE’s approach to wrestler development beyond established tag teams.
“Look, I think — and this is how I see it — that it’s not a bad thing. Obviously, I miss wrestling with my brother. I miss being in the ring with him, fighting and having fun with him every day when we’re working. But this is also a great opportunity for us to show who we are individually, you know?”

Collaborations with Top Talent Enhance Their Growth
During his interview, Fenix revealed that WWE has provided him with chances to work alongside several prominent wrestlers, which he believes benefits both himself and Penta. By facing diverse opponents and joining forces with different partners, the brothers are broadening their in-ring experience and fan appeal separate from their joint legacy.
“I’ve worked with Gable, I worked with Andrade in his time, I’m working now with Sami Zayn, and the same thing with Rey — I’ve worked with Rey in recent AAA events. I think it’s a great opportunity both for us as wrestlers and for the audience to see something different.”

Backstage Awareness of Fans’ Desire for a Reunion
Despite the individual paths they are pursuing, Fenix confirmed that both he and Penta are fully aware of the strong fan demand for The Lucha Brothers’ reunion. He affirmed that WWE management recognizes this anticipation and is carefully considering the timing.
“Obviously — and believe me — they know. I’m sure they know that people are waiting for the Lucha Brothers, and the Lucha Brothers are waiting for that moment too.”

Patience as a Key Lesson in Wrestling Careers
Fenix underscored that patience is crucial in wrestling, and he believes the reunion will have a greater impact when it occurs at the ideal moment. The delay is not out of lack of deserving but rather to ensure that the return of The Lucha Brothers feels significant and well-timed.
“It’s going to happen at the right time, the correct time that the Lucha Brothers deserve. It’s not that we don’t deserve it now, or that you all as fans don’t deserve to see the Lucha Brothers today. But I know that when that moment comes, it will be the right moment, and it will be the correct moment.”

The Brothers’ Recent Appearance and Unfinished Reunion Plans
The duo had a brief reunion at Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide’s Alianzas event in November 2025. There, they confronted Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano following a match featuring Dragon Lee and El Hijo del Vikingo, hinting at a potential tag match planned for AAA Guerra de Titanes. However, their full reunion was halted when Penta sustained an injury, leaving Fenix to team with Rey Mysterio instead. Currently, the brothers continue on separate WWE trajectories, while the company apparently waits for the appropriate timing to reunite them.
Looking Ahead: The Future of The Lucha Brothers in WWE
The delay in reuniting The Lucha Brothers highlights WWE’s approach of crafting individual storylines and momentum before combining wrestlers into their former tag team glory. Fans remain eager to see The Lucha Brothers together again, but Rey Fenix’s statements suggest this will happen thoughtfully and purposefully for maximum effect. WWE’s strategy may allow both Rey Fenix and Penta to further their careers solo before a powerful reunion electrifies the audience once more.
