Rey Fenix has been announced as the eleventh entrant in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla’s 2019 Battle of Los Angeles. This will be his fourth time competing in the tournament.
Known for his work in AAA and Lucha Underground, Rey Fenix made his PWG debut as an entrant in the 2015 Battle of Los Angeles, losing to Matt Sydal in the first round. He then appeared in the 2016 Battle of Los Angeles, losing to Will Ospreay in the opening round.
After the 2016 Battle of Los Angeles, Rey Fenix became a regular in PWG, and along with his brother Penta El Zero M, dethroned The Young Bucks as PWG Tag Team Champions. In the 2017 Battle of Los Angeles, Rey Fenix made it to the semi-finals before losing the Keith Lee. To date he has 20 total matches in PWG, by far the most of anyone in the tournament so far.
This past Saturday, Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero M defeated SCU (Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky) at AEW’s Fight for the Fallen.
