In a thrilling turn of events, speculation has reached a fever pitch regarding the possible debuts of ex-AEW stars Malakai Black and Rey Fenix in WWE. This buzz was intensified during the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, which featured two enigmatic video vignettes that hint at their imminent arrivals.

Mysterious Vignettes Air on WWE SmackDown

The first teaser kicked off with a dramatic flash of orange lightning, revealing a shadowy figure perched atop a turnbuckle. Background sounds buzzed ominously before the clip concluded with another burst of lightning. Fans quickly took to social media, speculating that this brief six-second snippet may allude to the return of Rey Fenix, a fan-favorite known for his high-flying skills alongside his brother, Penta, as part of the Lucha Brothers in AEW. Fenix's AEW contract reportedly expired in early March, and while it's still a mystery if he will join his brother on the WWE Raw roster or make his debut on the blue brand, excitement is building for what’s next.

Cryptic Teaser for Malakai Black

The second vignette aired was far more cryptic, as grey smoke engulfed a black screen before a pulsating white "4" emerged at the center. This mysterious sixteen-second clip left viewers in suspense, abruptly cutting to black. Many fans quickly connected this footage to Malakai Black, who parted ways with AEW earlier this year. Previously known as Aleister Black in WWE, his last appearance was back in 2020 against Kevin Owens in a gripping no-disqualification match on Raw. If the rumors hold true, Black might be poised to reunite with his wife, Zelina Vega, on Friday night broadcasts.

Uncertainty Surrounds Their Possible Returns

As speculation mounts, neither WWE, Black, nor Fenix have provided any official statements to confirm these developments, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. Will these dynamic talents indeed be making their anticipated returns to the squared circle, or will their arrival be another twist in the ongoing saga of wrestling’s most thrilling narrative?
