Bullshit. I’ve seen it celebrated that WWE has handled stuff like this in the past.
Just suck it up and let them go wherever they want to go, don’t be a petty little pretentious dickhead and just let them move on.

Yeah I don't recall that being celebrated, I think you are mis-remembering, there was very little to no positivity towards anything WWE was doing at the time other than maybe from Jussi

Should be noted the reports say TK could extend Fenix's deal in this way, not that he has.
He's done it before but iirc it was usually to ensure the performer got paid while hurt, and in the other couple instances (FTR, Kenny) they were looking to re-sign anyway. So even then the other party has to consent.
Doing this without Fenix agreeing would be unwise. There's no value in forcing someone who wants out to stay. And as much as i like the Lucha Bros, them jumping to WWE isn't like some big needle mover moment that's going to damage your company. Partially because they aren't a big name to casuals, and partially because i'm not sure WWE would be able to utilize them correctly.

It's now official - he passed away today.
from slamwrestling.net:
Just a few months after the death of his brother, Sika, Afa the Wild Samoan has died. He was 81.
The news was broken by Samu Anoa’i on the afternoon of August 16: “It is with deepest regret that we announce the passing of my father Afa Anoai Sr. It was a peaceful transition and he was surrounded by loved ones. Please respect our privacy as we morn (sic) our father.”
Afa had faced health challenges since late 2023, including a fractured back, a heart attack and battling pneumonia, so it was a bit of a surprise when his younger brother, Leati Sika Amituana’i Anoa’i, died on June 25, 2024, at age 79.
Afa’s death was prematurely announced on the evening of August 15, likely by persons and websites misinterpreting this post from Afa’s son, Samula, who wrestled as Samu:
As we embark on your final journey home, we express our heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering love and guidance you have bestowed upon us throughout our lives. We find solace in knowing that you will soon be reunited with the Lord Jesus, your parents, siblings, and friends who have gone before us. We have no doubt that you will establish a Wild Samoan training center in the sky, bringing us all together once again. We believe in the power of your love and legacy, and we will continue to honor it in all that we do.
Respectfully your son
Big Sam Anoa’i.
The oldest cousin of the Bloodline clan.
Family and friends fought back against those who had misreported the news, much like Afa himself had fought and fought for the last few months.
They had collected pictures, stories, and memories from those who knew Afa to share at his bedside in his final days, spent in Howey in the Hills, Florida, near Orlando.

No different than posters here reacting to any trade rumor that pops up on this site.

WWE has literally done this repeatedly and eaten shit for it.
It's laughable because Tony Khan started AEW on the premise that he was gonna be different from WWE and better for the boys, when the reality is he's done a lot of the same shit.
AEW fans pretending it's like that old Heyman shoot promo where the WWE fans are like Brisco and Patterson kissing Vince's ass...
"OH WHAT A GREAT IDEA YOU HAD EXTENDING HIS CONTRACT VINCE!
*MUAH* *MUAH* *MUAH* *MUAH*!
*MUAH* *MUAH* *MUAH* *MUAH*!"
Ya, it'd really be too bad if they didn't let Penta recklessly shatter somebody's leg on a dumb spot, or Fenix drop a guy on his head (twice) after he's already been concussed.
We saw what happened after Edge was finally free after all those years of dumb restrictions!

Yes, because Punk got hurt in that timeframe and was not going to make Wrestlemania, which I explicitly cited, along with doing the injury angle. If you’re not going to read what’s being said, that’s a you-problem.

I simply stated what he said. No one else is putting it out there. Anybody’s welcome to not believe him.

I actually get a giant kick out of petty, bitter, miserable Bret. I can't explain it... I just laugh every time he gets upset, which is a lot.
