WWE fans are in for a treat as Rey Fenix is set to make his debut on SmackDown, marking one of the final episodes on The Road to WrestleMania 41. The Man of a Thousand Lives was granted his release from AEW a month ago, and after teasing vignettes, it has been confirmed that he will step into the WWE ring tonight.
Rey Fenix will face off against Nathan Frazer in his first-ever WWE match, serving as the main roster TV debut for the current NXT Tag Team Champion. This debut is highly anticipated, especially considering the potential storyline implications as Frazer and Axiom currently hold the NXT Tag Team Championship as Fraxiom. A possible feud between The Lucha Bros and Fraxiom could be on the horizon, adding an exciting dynamic to the mix.
This match will mark Rey’s first in-ring appearance since July 26, 2024, when he teamed up with his brother and PAC for a match in CMLL Viernes Espectacular. On the other hand, Frazer, a graduate from Seth Rollins’ Black & Brave Wrestling Academy, has previously faced off against Bronson Reed in a SmackDown dark match and has the potential to make a significant impact on the main roster.
The debut of Rey Fenix on SmackDown is a significant moment for the blue brand and for WWE fans worldwide. As the Road to WrestleMania heats up, this debut adds an extra layer of excitement and anticipation for what’s to come in the world of professional wrestling. Stay tuned for what promises to be an unforgettable episode of SmackDown.
