Penta looks back on his WWE debut.
After months of speculation, former AEW Tag Team Champion Penta officially made his WWE debut on the January 13 episode of WWE Raw. In the process, he defeated former RAW Tag Team Champion Chad Gable, with his family looking on from the front row. In behind-the-scenes footage newly released by WWE, Penta opened up about the significance of this move, which he describes as a “dream.”
“I can’t believe it now. What’s amazing, the crowd, I feel like is my family,” Penta said. “This crowd followed me many, many years ago. Now, tonight, I make history right now here in San Jose because I see a lot of Mexican guys, I see a lot of Latin guys call me my name El Zero Miedo. I am happy.
“Saw Rey Mysterio on the TV after my regular job. I arrived in my home, I see him on the TV, Rey Mysterio, and in my mind is maybe one day I should be there,” he continued. “Now is the day. Years ago, Rey Mysterio was my idol, my role model, now, as my friend. This is the magic. First Raw with my family, my wife, my daughters, a special night. I think it’s the best night of my life.”
When asked what is next for him, Penta noted his intentions to deliver his best performances for the WWE Universe. Furthermore, he wants to win everything. So far, he’s done just that with another victory, this time over Pete Dunne, on the following Raw.
