Penta has become one of the biggest attractions of WWE since making his debut on Monday Night Raw a year ago. At that time, the Mexican wrestler was starting a new stage in his professional career after a period of ups and downs in All Elite Wrestling.
His first year in WWE has allowed him to showcase to the company's fans both his skills in the ring and his personality, in addition to delivering great matches against wrestlers like Rusev, Seth Rollins, and Bron Breakker, among others. But the most important thing is that his connection with the fans has not waned, which is a sign that the masked wrestler is not just a passing trend.
Paul Heyman has closely followed Penta's evolution since his arrival at the company, realizing the great superstar they have on their hands. He explained this during the third episode of WWE Unreal while recalling the male Ladder Match from the last edition of Money in the Bank, in which Penta participated.
"I know we said this beforehand, I know we said it when he debuted. We have something with this damn Penta. There are two things you learn over time. First, you hear the star pop when it happens. But you understand that it's just a star pop. However, in a match, when you're selling punishment and you start to rise, what's the reaction? Because that's when (the fans) have to care about you, for you to make your comeback. It's those 30 seconds when you're selling and starting to get up, it's like: 'damn, I need to do this, I need to do it,' and the audience gets behind you. Penta is over as hell. When he made the move to go for the ladder, they wanted him to win with all their might. I'm telling you, we have something really special with him," Heyman said.
Currently, Penta is aligned with Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee, who have decided to oppose The Vision, a faction led by Paul Heyman after betraying Seth Rollins. Penta will be part of the male Royal Rumble match, where a direct ticket to WrestleMania 42 will be at stake.
