Fenix Calls WrestleMania Debut a “Dream Come True” Despite Rey Mysterio Injury

Fenix is only three weeks into his WWE run—and he’s already wrestled at WrestleMania.

The lucha libre standout spoke to Covalent TV about stepping in last-minute for Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 41, following Mysterio’s injury just one night before the event. Despite the circumstances, Fenix was all heart about the opportunity.

“It’s a dream. I’m living my dream,” he said. “Only my third week in WWE. My third SmackDown. The next day, boom, WrestleMania.”

Fenix didn’t ignore how the moment came about, adding: “It’s not the way I want, Rey Mysterio getting injured, but I’m happy to be the guy who wrestled [in his place]. I’m living the dream. It’s a dream come true. It’s amazing.”

While El Grande Americano picked up the win in their match, Fenix’s WrestleMania debut marked a major milestone in what’s already becoming one of the fastest climbs in WWE this year.
