Wrestling personality suggests potential matchups with Gunther and Bron Breakker for the newly signed luchador.
Penta’s WWE journey kicked off with a victory over Chad Gable on the January 13 episode of RAW on Netflix. The luchador’s arrival, which Michael Cole dubbed WWE’s “worst kept secret,” came through General Manager Adam Pearce selecting him as Gable’s surprise opponent.
The San Jose crowd embraced Penta as he showcased his unique style en route to winning the match. After securing the victory, the 39-year-old star connected with fans through a bilingual promo that resonated throughout the arena.
Speaking on the latest episode of Insight, Chris Van Vliet painted a picture of potential dream matchups for the luchador, specifically highlighting Gunther and Bron Breakker as ideal opponents.
He brings this real intensity, and I think it allows us now to open up the opportunity, to open up the door for some real dream matches that could happen here. Like stylistically, if you put him in with Gunther. Stylistically, hard hitting match. Put Penta in there, with just the way he moves and the way he doesn’t hold back. Put him in there with Bron Breakker. That’s gonna be, to borrow a phrase from the great Jim Ross, it’s gonna be a slobber knocker.
While initial reports suggested some talent expressed concerns about their RAW time being reduced due to Penta’s match and promo segment, WWE officials were pleased with his debut performance. Sources indicate there is no backstage heat on Penta regarding the situation.
