Penta’s WWE debut match against Chad Gable on the January 13 episode of RAW sparked concerns among fans when he appeared to favor his leg during the contest. PWInsider confirmed the injury scare was part of Penta’s in-ring selling rather than a legitimate issue.
The match concluded with Penta securing a victory over Gable at the SAP Center in San Jose. However, the segment exceeded its allocated time, leading to adjustments in other scheduled segments throughout the broadcast.
While some backstage personnel expressed frustration over timing changes, WWE management reportedly approved of Penta’s performance and crowd reaction. The company’s merchandising department noted strong early sales figures following the pre-show release of Penta’s merchandise.
The timing issues stemmed from both the match and Penta’s post-match promo running longer than planned. Despite these scheduling complications, WWE officials remain optimistic about their newest roster addition’s prospects.
