AEW’s WrestleDream PPV saw a 4-Way AEW World Tag Team Championship #1 Contender’s match take place between The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson), The Lucha Brothers (Penta El Zero Miedo and AEW International Champion Rey Fenix), “Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy and FTW Champion HOOK and Bullet Club Gold (Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn), which saw The Young Bucks pick up the win.
During the match, Fenix went down, and Penta worked most of the match on his own as Fenix was helped to the back by doctors.
According to previous reports, Fenix had been banged up following his shocking win over Jon Moxley at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam, and he was barely cleared for his championship defense against Jeff Jarrett on a recent episode of Dynamite. With Fenix recently losing the AEW International Championship to “Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy, it was believed that the reason was due to the injury, but that does not seem to be the case.
Fightful Select reports that the reason behind this is that Fenix is dealing with some visa issues and he will be out of in-ring action for quite some time.
There is no word yet on the extent of Fenix’s visa issues and when he will return.
It was also mentioned on the report that Fenix was never scheduled to win the AEW International Championship from Moxley at Grand Slam, but an audible was called after Moxley suffered a concussion mid-match and Moxley would have reclaimed the title from Fenix had he been cleared to compete this past week.
