In a moment that Michael Cole aptly described as “the worst kept secret in the business,”Penta has officially joined the ranks of WWE. This major announcement came during the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, where Penta showcased his talent by defeating Chad Gable. Following an electrifying debut match and a compelling promo, Penta was met with an enthusiastic ovation from the crowd, signaling the inception of a new star.
Looking ahead to 2025, it’s anticipated that Penta will have a breakout year in WWE. Expectations run high for this former AEW champion, and fans are eager to see who he will feud with in the coming year. With the diverse talents on the Raw roster, the potential matchups are exciting and plentiful. As we welcome the new year, it’s the perfect time to speculate about the opponents who will face “Mr. Cero Miedo.”
10 Penta vs. Rey Mysterio
A Historic Rivalry
On the latest episode of Raw, backstage interviewer Jackie Redmond caught up with Rey Mysterio in front of an excited audience. Mysterio congratulated Penta on his debut, expressing that he has always believed WWE was the luchador’s true home. Their history is rich, having faced each other multiple times outside WWE, including a notable match in Lucha Underground.
This strong rapport offers WWE a golden opportunity to either use that chemistry to create a compelling tag team or ignite a gripping feud. Many fans believe that their established history could pave the way for an engaging storyline.
9 Penta and Rey Mysterio vs. New Day
Possible Team-Up Against New Day
If WWE decides to pair Mysterio and Penta together, Penta could serve as Mysterio’s ally in a match against the recently turned heel New Day. Following their betrayal of Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have been targeting Mysterio, facing significant consequences for their actions. To equal the odds, Mysterio could benefit from having Penta by his side.
8 Penta and Rey Mysterio vs. American Made (Creed Brothers)
Continuing Penta’s Momentum
While a showdown with New Day seems imminent, there is also the possibility of Chad Gable seeking retribution against Penta. If Gable comes back with allies, the Creed Brothers—fresh from NXT—could potentially form a formidable duo at his side. Gable could align with the Creed Brothers, leading to Penta needing his own support, which would ideally come from Rey Mysterio.
7 Penta vs. Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins Takes on a Mentor Role
Seth Rollins recently shared that he feels more like a supporting player rather than the main star in his current WWE narrative. However, Rollins might have the chance to empower Penta as he embarks on his journey toward stardom. A match between Penta and Rollins has the potential to be a Match of the Year contender, showcasing Penta’s unique style in contrast to Rollins’ established techniques.
6 Penta vs. Gunther
Aiming for a Title Shot
If Penta continues to captivate audiences, he may ascend to main-event status sooner than anticipated. The former TNA World Champion is well-positioned to pursue a championship title, particularly targeting Gunther’s reign. With Gunther currently lacking defined challengers, a title shot for Penta could generate considerable intrigue among fans about WWE’s direction.
5 Penta vs. Logan Paul (or Bad Bunny?)
Celebrity Draws in the Ring
Rumors indicate that Logan Paul could soon be vying for Gunther’s title, though fan reception has been mixed. Alternatively, a match between Paul and Penta could align well with WWE’s entertainment focus, as they would naturally build on Penta’s fierce persona against Paul’s media-savvy, villainous role. Another compelling possibility is a match with Bad Bunny, especially with recent speculation about WWE returning to Puerto Rico, where the international star previously dazzled audiences.
4 Penta vs. Bron Breakker
A Potential Title Challenge
With Bron Breakker establishing himself as a leading figure in WWE, anticipation builds around who will take his place when he moves on from the Intercontinental Championship. If the World Title seems like a stretch for Penta initially, the IC Title could serve as an excellent opportunity for his rise. This title is iconic for cultivating rising stars, and Penta’s experience could make him a perfect fit.
3 Penta vs. Jacob Fatu
Anticipated Encounters
As a member of the SmackDown roster, Jacob Fatu’s path to facing Penta may encounter some obstacles, yet the excitement surrounding such a matchup remains unyielding. Fatu has captured the audience’s attention with his dynamic performances, and even the briefest interaction with Penta could spark a fan-fueled demand for the showdown, potentially leading to an impromptu encounter at an upcoming event such as the Royal Rumble.
2 Penta vs. CM Punk
The AEW Rematch
Aside from Rey Mysterio, CM Punk stands out as one of the few Superstars on Raw with past experience wrestling Penta. Their prior encounter in AEW can reset in WWE with completely different dynamics. WWE’s distinctive production style would lend itself well to reinventing their rivalry, making the rematch not just another repetition but a fresh and exciting spectacle.
1 Penta vs. John Cena
A Golden Opportunity
The John Cena Retirement Tour has begun, and with his desire to secure one last title reign and revisit past rivalries, the clock is ticking for WWE to arrange a dream match between Cena and Penta. Cena has never faced a competitor like Penta in his storied career, making now the critical time for WWE to capitalize on this unique opportunity before Cena exits the ring for good.
