Triple H breaks silence on ex-AEW Champion joining WWE
Triple H welcomes Penta to WWE RAW as reports surface of timing issues during former AEW star’s debut appearance.
Triple H addressed Penta’s WWE arrival following his debut match against Chad Gable on the January 13 episode of RAW. The former AEW star secured a victory and declared RAW his “new home” during a post-match segment.
WWE’s Chief Content Officer shared his thoughts on social media regarding the signing:
New era. Zero fear. Welcome @PENTAELZEROM to @WWE. #WWERaw
Backstage reaction to Penta’s debut
Reports indicate some backstage concerns emerged during Penta’s first appearance. His match and subsequent promo exceeded their allocated time, forcing adjustments to other segments during the San Jose broadcast.
WWE had teased Penta’s arrival by releasing merchandise ahead of his RAW debut. The luchador’s name has been simplified to “Penta” for his WWE run, dropping the “El Zero Miedo” moniker used in AEW.
