Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently spoke about Penta debuting on Monday Night RAW this week. The luchador faced Chad Gable in his first bout on the red brand.
Penta put on an impressive show in his debut match against American Made leader Chad Gable. The masked star picked up the victory, hitting his opponent with the Sacrifice followed by a Penta Driver.
On Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo said Cole put himself in a bad position when he said Penta was the best luchador RAW general manager Adam Pearce could find. The veteran writer felt Triple H possibly corrected Michael Cole, and the WWE announcer later stated that Penta was possibly second-best after Rey Mysterio.
"We got Gable and Penta, Cole says this. The best luchador Adam Pearce could find. Bro, you got Rey Mysterio on that roster." Russo continued, "Cole said it and when they came back from a commercial break, he kind of said Penta was the second-best luchador right behind Rey Mysterio. I guarantee you Triple H was like, 'Bro, you can't say that! Rey is sitting right here.' You know what I mean? It's things like this." [From 20:15 onwards]
WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H also congratulated the mysterious luchador for finally debuting in the global juggernaut. It will be interesting to see how Penta fares against some of the most competitive men on the RAW roster.
