Last week's WWE RAW episode featured several legends and Hall of Famers due to its historic move to Netflix, but one star missing from the event was Penta El Zero Miedo. However, it looks like the Stamford-based promotion had other plans for the former AEW star.

On the final WWE RAW episode of 2024, The New Day and Rey Mysterio had another backstage confrontation where a tag team match was set for the Netflix episode. The Hall of Famer was supposed to team up with a mystery partner, with many believing it could be Penta El Zero Miedo.

However, that match never took place, and during an interview with Jackie Redmond on last week's episode, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods said that Los Angeles didn't deserve them, so they didn't perform. From the looks of it, the company has decided to go a different route for the debuting star.

Tonight on the red brand, Chad Gable is set to face a mystery opponent arranged by Adam Pearce, with many believing it could be Penta. The company may have wanted him to have all the spotlight for his debut, which would be quite impossible during a tag team match. Facing a veteran like the American Made leader during a debut match will surely get him attention.

Also, Kofi and Xavier's heel turn is just fresh. They are one of the most hated stars in the brand today, and the company may not want to derail their momentum by having them lose a match.


What is WWE Hall of Famer's main concern with Penta El Zero Miedo's debut?

It's safe to say that with the Netflix deal alone, the Stamford-based promotion is on fire right now. Last week alone, many tuned in due to the stacked lineup and compelling matches backed by intense storylines. However, Eric Bischoff believed this could also be the reason for Pentagon Jr.'s absence.

On his 83 Weeks podcast, the Hall of Famer talked about the former AEW champion not debuting last week during the brand's Netflix deal and said he might be lost in the shuffle.

"He'll get lost in all the bright shiny objects and celebrities and Gaga, he'll get lost in the middle of that."

It will be interesting to see if the upcoming Monday Night RAW will finally feature the long-awaited debut of Penta El Zero Miedo.
