The Reign of Rey Fenix continues!

Friday night on SmackDown, the AAA Cruiserweight Champion managed to retain his title against his rival Ricky Saints. The latter attempted to cheat, but the match’s referee Charles Robinson disqualified him… A setback for The Absolute. The day after his Sacramento bout, Rey Fenix reacted on X.

He stated :

“12… One more defense. It wasn’t the defense I wanted, but Ricky Saints chose to cheat last night.

Thanks to this reign, Rey Fenix is reborn. Despite a difficult start in WWE, the brother of Penta is making an impact wherever he goes thanks to this Cruiserweight title, which he has held for 141 days. Who do you think could beat him, in your opinion?
