Rey Fenix to debut on next week’s WWE SmackDown

A big debut is set for next weekโ€™s SmackDown.

WWEโ€™s return to the United States in Chicago will see the debut of Rey Fenix. A third vignette for Fenix aired on SmackDown showcasing the high-fying star in full for the first time, focusing on his tattoos and moving around in the ring, including walking on the ropes.

The former AEW starโ€™s profile was removed from their website earlier this month. Dave Meltzer soon after reported that he was released from his AEW contract and would be heading to WWE โ€œASAP.โ€ He last wrestled for the company in July of 2024, defeating Tony Nese.

B-Fab will also be in action next week, taking on Naomi. This week’s show saw Michin and B-Fab walk past Jade Cargill in a hallway, showing sympathy to Cargill over Naomi’s recent actions. As the two made their way to the ring for Michin’s match against Charlotte Flair, they were jumped by Naomi, to proceeded to lay both women out until Cargill made the save.

The updated lineup for next weekโ€™s SmackDown:

  • Rey Fenix debuts
  • Naomi vs. B-Fab
