The pro wrestling landscape may be in for a significant shift as speculation grows about a possible Rey Fenix WWE reunion, sparked by the recent release of several notable figures from All Elite Wrestling (AEW). One of those departing—managerial mainstay Alex Abrahantes—had a prominent role alongside stars like Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix, both of whom are now with WWE, opening the door to reunion rumors.
In his decades-spanning career, Alex Abrahantes, also known as The Hype Man, has made a mark not just inside the ring as a competitor but also through key backstage roles with major promotions such as WWE and TNA. AEW brought him on board in 2019, assigning him to Spanish-language broadcasting duties before moving him into weekly on-screen segments. Abrahantes quickly established himself as the charismatic spokesperson for The Lucha Brothers, amplifying their presence on AEW television and connecting with the audience.
Since his start, Abrahantes broadened his influence, working as the voice and advocate for a range of luchadors on AEW programming, even as Penta and Rey Fenix had already left for other opportunities. His managerial talents were also directed toward Gravity, Komander, CMLL star Mascara Dorada, and Bandido, to whom he brought additional visibility during their respective runs. Although he maintained a steady presence on both All Elite Wrestling and Ring of Honor shows, emerging reports now point to Abrahantes’ departure, signaling an end to his tenure with AEW.
Should these developments be confirmed, WWE could take advantage by adding the 48-year-old Abrahantes to their line-up, given his history and seamless fit with The Lucha Brothers, now part of WWE. Abrahantes’ well-established chemistry with Penta and Rey Fenix, along with his experience as a manager and television host, make him a strong candidate for enhancing the Stamford-based company’s roster.
Abrahantes’ Last AEW Appearance Before Departure
One of Abrahantes’ final on-screen moments with AEW took place during the Zero Hour pre-show for Worlds End, the promotion’s closing pay-per-view of 2025. Serving as manager, he accompanied Mascara Dorada and Bandido as they secured a win against the Don Callis Family’s Mark Davis and Rocky Romero, marking a significant contribution on his AEW exit tour.
The next steps for Abrahantes remain uncertain after his AEW departure, leaving industry watchers to speculate whether a high-profile WWE role, possibly alongside his former teammates The Lucha Brothers, is on the horizon. A potential Rey Fenix WWE reunion—coordinated by a familiar and trusted manager—could add fresh energy to WWE’s ongoing storylines and further reshape the world of professional wrestling.
