Penta opens up about his WWE debut

Pentagon Jr. made his WWE debut on the January 13, 2025, edition of Monday Night RAW. He emerged victorious in his first match against Chad Gable. The masked luchador has since secured wins over Pete Dunne and Ludwig Kaiser in one-on-one matches.

During the same interview with TV Insider, Penta reflected on his debut in the Stamford-based promotion, acknowledging the mixed emotions he experienced due to his family's presence. The former AEW star shared that his daughter's tears backstage initially impacted him, but he quickly focused on the task at hand. He praised Chad Gable's wrestling abilities and recognized the match as a pivotal moment in his career.

"I had mixed emotions and feelings because my family was there. My little girl was crying when I was in the locker room. So when my music hit, I forgot about everything when I went to the ring. Chad Gable is one of the best wrestlers in the world. I think it was the best opening for me. After the match, it was definitely a turning point in my career," he said.

Cero Miedo left a strong impression with his performance in the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match but did not emerge victorious. The Road to WrestleMania 41 has kicked off with intrigue as fans speculate on what WWE has in store for the 40-year-old star.
