Celebrity rapper predicts potential heel turn storyline between WWE’s newest RAW Superstar Penta and Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio following Penta’s successful debut.
By Patricki Chites —
Penta’s WWE journey began with an impressive victory over Chad Gable on the January 13, 2025 episode of Monday Night RAW. The match showcased his signature blend of lucha libre and technical wrestling, immediately establishing him as a formidable addition to the roster.
During a recent No-Contest Wrestling podcast episode, co-host TJ Jefferson discussed Penta’s character trajectory, suggesting that a darker gimmick could enhance his WWE presence. O’Shea Jackson Jr. built on this idea, pointing to Rey Mysterio as an ideal opponent.
But when that heel turn does come and he goes a little bit darker, man, that’s going to be a whole another something else right there
Jackson Jr. immediately responded:
You know who it’s going to be against, Rey
NXT Champion Relates to Penta’s Family Moment
The emotional impact of Penta’s debut resonated particularly strongly with current NXT Champion Ethan Page. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Page connected with the family-centered celebration that followed Penta’s victory.
I can relate to Penta, especially family-wise, getting to see him on RAW with his family in the front row, his daughter specifically in tears.
Page drew parallels to his own milestone achievement at NXT Heatwave in Toronto, where he captured the NXT Championship in front of his hometown crowd at the Scotiabank Arena, sharing a similar emotional moment with his family at ringside.
Despite reports of timing issues during Penta’s debut segment, multiple sources confirmed that the incident caused no backstage concerns for the newest RAW Superstar.
