Penta made his highly anticipated debut on the January 13th episode of WWE RAW, defeating Chad Gable in a surprise match. A new report has shed more light on Penta’s arrival to WWE and the original plan that was put in place.
According to Fightful Select, Penta’s deal with WWE had been finalized weeks before his AEW contract expired on December 1. Initially, Penta was scheduled to team up with Rey Mysterio and face The New Day, but the plan was changed at the last minute.
The report also revealed that Penta’s segment went over time, with his promo lasting longer than expected. However, sources close to the matter claim that there is no heat on Penta for this overrun, with many talent members expressing support for him.
In fact, one higher-up reportedly stated that any frustration should be directed towards whoever decided to put a hard stop on the live portion of the show, rather than Penta himself. This suggests that WWE is keen to give Penta a warm welcome and make his debut a success.
With this new information, fans can look forward to seeing more from Penta in the coming weeks as he settles into his new role with WWE.
