El Zero Miedo. Tonight on Raw, former AEW superstar Pentagon Jr. made his debut with WWE. Going by the name Penta, he defeated Chad Gable in his first match with the company.
It had been reported that he was supposed to debut with the company on the debut episode of Raw on Netflix last week but was pulled last minute due to time restraints.

From Bleacher Report:
Dubbed the “worst-kept secret” by Michael Cole, the former AAA, AEW, TNA, and Lucha Underground star made his way to the ring to a thunderous ovation and took to the squared circle to battle the former world champion.
What ensued was a fantastic match between two veteran competitors.
Gable targeted his opponent’s knee, looking to take his high-flying arsenal away from him by attacking his base. Penta absorbed everything Gable threw at him, including a few overhead suplexes, and fought back. He caught the heel with a backstabber, added his Sacrifice armbreaker, and put him away with the Penta Driver for the impressive victory.
After the match, Penta cut a promo thanking the fans, promised a new era for him and WWE, and delivered his trademark catchphrase to close things out.
This was a great introduction to Penta, who looked like a huge acquisition for WWE and a legitimate main-event star. It was yet another reminder of Gable’s excellence as his in-ring work is nearly second-to-none. A strong match and successful debut, this was an easy thumbs up.
Editor’s Opinion:
You LOVE to see it! It took the crowd a little while to get into him, but by the end of the match, they knew who he was. He and Gable had a nice match, and Penta was entertaining the entire time. The promo he cut after the match showed the world that he is captivating on the mic as well. This is a great pick up for WWE! ZERO! MIEDO!
