Fenix won singles gold in other promotions, including the Lucha Underground Champion, AAA Mega Championship, and AEW International Championship.
He has yet to hold a title, singles or tag team, in WWE.
Fenix was teaming with Andrade ahead of WWE SummerSlam, but Andrade was released by the promotion on September 13. Friday’s SmackDown was Fenix’s first televised match since WWE SummerSlam.
