4 signs former AEW star Pentagon Jr. will make his WWE debut on RAW on Netflix

As the year turns to 2025, wrestling fans will be closely watching as RAW moves from the USA Network to Netflix. WWE has already loaded up the debut with a massive card.

Liv Morgan defends the Women's World Championship against her biggest rival, Rhea Ripley, in a Last Woman Standing Match. Both vowed to end the feud at the premiere. Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa will battle in Tribal Combat.

CM Punk and Seth Rollins will be the main event for the highly anticipated Netflix debut. Other big moments could go down, including returns and debuts. One such moment could involve former AEW star Pentagon Jr. He could make a huge splash on RAW's Netflix debut due to the next four signs.

#4. The series of cryptic teasers on episodes of RAW

One big sign that Pentagon Jr. will debut on RAW's premiere on Netflix is the teasers that have aired over the last few weeks. They've ramped up with new images each week.

The first teaser was simply a red circle with a slash through it. Last week's added another layer. The final teaser on the latest RAW showed the circle with a slash through it with teeth. A pair of eyes joined his signature ninja, throwing a star atop the mask.

Savvy fans know those details to adorn every mask worn by the former AEW Tag Team Champion. If the teasers weren't for the Man Without Fear, who else would they be for?

#3. He's already a free agent

One simple sign of Pentagon's potential debut on next week's RAW is his contract status. Pentagon became a free agent in early December, freeing him up to take his talents wherever he chooses.

Had he re-signed with AEW, he would have been thrust into an ongoing angle. Will Ospreay, Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Christian Cage, and other stars passed him and Rey Fenix in the pecking order.

Wrestling contracts expire at various points in the calendar year. Some have a 90-day non-compete clause, but the majority don't. Since his deal had already expired a while back, this set the stage for a huge debut for the talented performer.

#2. WWE stacks the deck for big shows

Another sign that he could make his big debut is that WWE is stacking the deck for the big premiere on Netflix. Punk vs. Rollins, Morgan vs. Ripley, and Reigns vs. Sikoa aren't the only matches booked for the show.

Jey Uso will tangle with Drew McIntyre after The Scottish Warrior caught The Yeet Master off guard again. WWE legends could show up, and John Cena has already been announced for next week's RAW.

A big debut would truly make a memorable moment for the first episode. Pentagon Jr. is one of the biggest stars in wrestling. He was inexplicably lost in the shuffle in AEW. Debuting on RAW would make a huge impact right away.

#1. Joining a wrestling legend?

The backstage segment between The New Day and the Latino World Order potentially set the stage for Pentagon's debut. WWE has used this tactic to give Dragon Lee and Andrade big spots at various premium live events.

After Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods challenged them to a fight, Woods mocked each member of the LWO. Mysterio didn't pick a partner but could choose between Lee, Joaquin Wilde, and Cruz Del Toro.

Pentagon has a history with Rey, as they have faced each other in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and Lucha Underground. The former IMPACT World Champion may not need the help, but it would definitely let casual fans know he's someone to take notice of since he's an ally of Rey Mysterio.
