AAA Rey de Reyes 2026 kicked off its Week 1 broadcast with a notable appearance from Rey Fenix, who addressed the crowd before introducing his brother, Penta, known together as Lucha Brothers.

The opening segment took place in front of the live audience at the Auditorio GNP Seguros in Puebla. Fenix spoke to the fans before welcoming Penta, who currently holds the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

During the segment, Penta referenced the shoulder injury he suffered in late 2025, explaining that it prevented him from reuniting with his brother in the ring during AAA Guerra de Titanes. Because of the injury, the long-anticipated reunion of the Lucha Brothers was unable to take place at that event.

Despite the setback, the two brothers hinted that fans may not have to wait much longer to see them team together again. Fenix and Penta teased the possibility of bringing back the Lucha Brothers tag team at a future AAA event.

According to their comments during the segment, the reunion could potentially happen at Triplemanía or when AAA returns to Puebla for another event later this year.

Penta also used the moment to address his championship status. He told the audience that he is willing to defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship in AAA and made it clear that anyone interested in challenging for the title is welcome to step forward.

Later in the show, Penta is scheduled to take part in a ceremonial role connected to the Rey de Reyes tournament. The WWE Intercontinental Champion will present the honorary sword to the winner of the Rey de Reyes tournament final.

The tournament final is set to feature Santos Escobar, El Grande Americano, La Parka, and El Grande Americano II in a Fatal Four-Way Match. The winner will receive the traditional Rey de Reyes sword and earn a future opportunity at the AAA Mega Championship.

With the event continuing over the next several weeks, the opening segment added another layer of anticipation, particularly with the tease of a potential Lucha Brothers reunion in AAA.
