A major WWE Superstar shared that they have been competing with an injury for several years. The veteran recently made his debut with the promotion after spending the past few years in All Elite Wrestling.
Penta was a guest on Sheamus' Celtic Warrior Workouts and shared a massive health update during their conversation. The former AEW Tag Team Champion disclosed that he suffered a torn bicep when a wrestler kicked him three years ago and has been performing with the injury ever since.
"I broke my arm. [Sheamus asked if he tore his bicep]. Yeah, yeah [it’s still torn]. Three years ago, one wrestler kicked me and broke my bicep. No [I never got it fixed]. This is like warrior [laughs]," he said. [H/T: WrestleZone]

Bill Apter reveals WWE's flawed booking strategy with Penta
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently stated that WWE had a flawed booking strategy with Penta's matches.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk show, Apter questioned why the RAW star took so much punishment during his matches. He noted that Penta was always fighting from underneath while he should be picking up dominant wins as the company builds him into a star.
"You see, I don't see it that way. I see that he's working too much underneath. He's getting killed during a lot of the matches. He wins spectacular wins but he's working from underneath the whole time." [From 2:42 onwards]
