Rey Fenix's run as AEW International Champion has been a tough one.
On Sunday night, The Lucha Bros member was taken out of the match in the four-way tag-team title eliminator at AEW Wrestle Dream 2023 early on.
After the show, Fenix issued a statement addressing his injury issues that he has been dealing with since the night he won the title.
The statement reads as follows:
“The international championship has been a big challenge. The night I became champion, I left the arena with the championship in my hands and with an old injury bothering me again. My first defense was painful, it did not allow the pain to stop me and continue until the fight was over, this coming Wednesday will be my second defense and I am doing my best to enter that ring and retain the champion.
I will defend this beautiful championship in any situation, a Luchador does not give up, a Luchador will always leave everything in every battle. I am a real Luchador and the man of a thousand lives, nothing and no one is going to stop me. R3Y F3N1X 👑🇲🇽”
