Rey Fenix says he’s doing well after an injury that originally looked much worse.
Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite saw a bittersweet ending, as Rey Fenix was injured in the final moments of the Lucha Bros’ AEW Tag Team Championship defense against Jurassic Express. It was originally thought that Fenix broke his arm after landing awkwardly on his left arm to brace himself after a chokeslam through a table, and it has since been reported that it was just a bad dislocation.
Now, Fenix has commented on his status, posting the following on his Instagram account. Fenix thanked everyone for their support and said that he’s lucky he didn’t break his arm, noting the risks he takes as a wrestler.
“I want to thank each and every one of you for so much love, for your prayers, good vibes, for your messages. Thank you very much for being concerned about me. I feel very blessed to have all of you. Fans, colleagues (Wrestlers) my friends and my family, Thank you very much.
I love this sport so much that it has changed my life and mine, that when I am in the ring or put on my mask, everything goes away. There are no fears, there are no problems, my heart beats perfectly, everything is fine, I feel alive.
What happened last night is one of the many risks that we wrestlers take before getting into a ring and doing what we love so much. There is no fault, it is wrestling and these are the risks.
Today I can tell you that I feel better and that thank God, your prayers and good vibes THERE ARE NO BROKEN BONES. You still have to visit the doctor a couple more times and do some studies, to have an exact diagnosis.
Thank you very much once again to all and congratulations to the champions, enjoy and defend those titles, because very soon I am back and those championships belong to the LUCHA BROTHERS. I respect!
Thank you all, I love you”
It’s unclear how long Fenix will be out of action. Jurassic Express won the tag team titles after the table spot that injured Fenix when Jungle Boy rolled up Penta El Zero M for the win.
