WWE’s newest arrival, Penta, received a significant endorsement during this week’s Raw from one of the most celebrated masked wrestlers of all time, Rey Mysterio. In an interview with Jackie Redmond during a commercial break, the Hall of Famer shared his thoughts on Penta’s WWE debut.
“I’ve known Penta for quite some time now, and I’ve always envisioned Penta’s true home to be WWE. Well, he just went out there and proved to me and the whole world why he’s here.”
Penta’s impactful debut came at the expense of Chad Gable, who had previously demanded a match with a luchador from Adam Pearce. Before the show, WWE released Penta merchandise, leading fans to speculate that his in-ring debut was imminent.
In recent weeks, vignettes highlighting the arrival of a new Superstar were aired, with last week’s video confirming that Penta was coming to WWE. On commentary, Michael Cole acknowledged that Penta’s debut had been the “worst kept secret in the business.” Pat McAfee similarly said that Penta’s arrival was too big a secret for WWE to keep.

Penta departed AEW last year, though Rey Fenix remains under contract despite being off television for months. With Penta’s WWE career starting strong on Monday Night Raw, fans are eager to see what’s next for the Zero Miedo star on a roster stacked with talent.
