Popular celebrity and rapper O'Shea Jackson Jr. recently made a bold prediction about the brand-new WWE Superstar Penta. He suggested that if the luchador were to turn heel in the future, a showdown with Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio would be a compelling storyline.

On the January 13, 2025, episode of Monday Night RAW, Pentagon Jr. went one-on-one against Chad Gable. After a thrilling contest showcasing both high-flying maneuvers and impressive technical skills, the former TNA World Champion defeated Master Gable.

On a recent episode of the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, co-host TJ Jefferson discussed the possibility of a heel turn for Penta El Zero Miedo and suggested that a darker persona would elevate his character. Adding to Jefferson's comments, O'Shea Jackson Jr. predicted that this turn would inevitably culminate in a high-profile feud with 50-year-old WWE legend Rey Mysterio.

"But when that heel turn does come and he [Penta] goes a little bit darker, man, that's going to be a whole another something else right there," said TJ Jefferson. "You know who it's going to be against, Rey [Mysterio]," responded Jackson Jr. [From 16:22 to 16:32]
