After spending six months out of action, Rey Fenix has been cleared to return to the ring.
Fenix will make his AEW return on Collision tonight (April 27). He’s facing The Beast Mortos (the former Black Taurus) in a singles match on the episode.
This is Fenix’s first time wrestling since the October 10, 2023 episode of AEW Dynamite. He’s been out of action due to what was reported to be a hip injury, a back injury, or both. Fenix said he thinks it’s the worst injury that he’s dealt with in his career.
Fenix’s return was considered to be imminent ever since he was announced for a May 5 booking for House of Glory Wrestling in New York City. He’s facing his brother Penta El Zero Miedo at the Cinco de Mayo event.
Black Taurus changed his name to The Beast Mortos after departing Lucha Libre AAA and signing a deal with AEW/ROH. He returned to ROH under that name at Supercard of Honor on April 5.
Tonight, Collision airs on TNT immediately following the NBA playoff game between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. There’s a three-hour live AEW programming block with Rampage airing after Collision.
