As noted, the former tag team and trios champions, who have been with AEW since the beginning, are expected to be leaving the company once their contracts expire later this year. Previous reports revealed that they did have WWE interest, and that the two sides were in talks.

Fightful Select has released a new report confirming that the Lucha Bros have spoke with WWE, and that they are trying to get signed as a package deal. It is also noted that they do not want to go to NXT, meaning they would be elevated directly to the main roster if signed.

Penta El Zero Miedo’s contract is set to expire first, with Rey Fenix’s deal expiring around September. AEW has made efforts in trying to re-sign them, but those talks were delayed by The Lucha Bros themselves. One source tells Fightful that they wouldn’t be surprised to see the Lucha bros in Orlando to prepare for their WWE run. However, WWE has not directly commented on their talks with the Lucha Bros to Fightful.​
Not sure where that Konan part came from then unless it's directly on the Fightful report and these guys didn't mention it

Konnan was being his usual salty bitch self and posting on twitter "what goes around comes around part 2" the other week before this came out.

Interesting part of it though is them going to seemingly bypass NXT and straight to the main.

No idea, the only thing I can find is Brett may have helped them book a venue for a show they ran themselves recently so the heat could be something related there

Think they would do good in the tag division as it needs revamped asap like CD said a few posts back. Both should go as They're not going to go any further in AEW .

Money will better and Penta has the best look out of all Luchadors and can go in the ring. Merch wise they would make a ton of money especially Pentas masks are great . Both can go in the ring and have a manager with them. Don't just put them in LWO or with Santos Escobar's group I forget the name as I don't really watch him tbh.

The source is almost certainly Konnan for any Lucha Bros stuff fwiw but that doesn't always mean it's wrong either, just look at it with that knowledge lol
