Penta El Zero Miedo, formerly known for his work with AEW, made his WWE debut on the January 13, 2025 episode of RAW. He faced Chad Gable, answering the latter’s challenge for a match with the “best luchador in the world”. Penta won the match in dominant fashion, using signature moves such as the “Mexican Destroyer” and the “Penta Driver”.
After his victory, Penta addressed the crowd, expressing his gratitude and declaring that WWE is now his new home, marking the beginning of the “Penta Era” in the company.
However, reports indicate that Penta’s segment extended beyond the planned time, resulting in time cuts in other parts of the show. Although some talents backstage were not happy with this extension, WWE management was pleased with the premiere and the positive reaction of the audience in San Jose, as well as the initial merchandising sales figures.
Triple H, a key figure in WWE management, welcomed Penta via his social networks, indicating his enthusiasm for the luchador’s arrival in the company.
Penta’s WWE debut represents a significant moment, given his impressive track record on the international wrestling circuit, including notable stints with AEW and other promotions. His arrival adds a new dynamic to WWE’s talent division, and fans are eagerly awaiting his future appearances and rivalries within the organization.
