Last night’s episode of “WWE Raw” marked the much-anticipated debut of former AEW World Tag Team Champion, Penta. Following his match with Chad Gable, which he won, Penta delivered an emotional promo, visibly moved as he acknowledged the support of his family in the front row and the enthusiastic San Jose crowd. After the segment, PWI’s Mike Johnson sought clarification on Penta’s WWE status, particularly concerning a potential injury. Sources close to the situation indicated that Penta was simply selling his leg as part of the match. However, reports suggest that his extended performance—13 minutes in total—ran over the allotted time, causing frustration among fellow wrestlers whose segments were subsequently shortened.
Despite this hiccup, upper management reportedly expressed satisfaction with Penta’s debut and the resounding crowd reaction. Johnson also noted that Penta’s merchandise is already available on WWE’s website and is performing well. Looking ahead, it has been confirmed that Penta is set to remain with the “Raw” brand.
As Penta settles into his new role, speculation continues regarding when his brother, Rey Fenix, might join him. Reports indicate that Fenix’s situation with AEW has become quite complicated, and while he is expected to remain there for the majority of 2025, discussions about a possible release have emerged. Until his brother arrives, Penta will undoubtedly continue to pave his own path.
