Penta made his much anticipated WWE Raw debut on January 13, 2025, with AEW’s Thunder Rosa sharing her thoughts on the moment.
Following his victory over Chad Gable, Penta would address the fans, declaring WWE as his new “home”, as can be seen below this news story.
On a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, the former AEW Women’s World Champion opened up about the early days of Penta and his brother, Rey Fenix, revealing that they “worked so hard” as they carried things to the Mercado De Abastos “five, six days a week.”
Describing how they grew up in “Ecatepec de Morelos, which is one of the most dangerous places in Mexico City”, Rosa would they were training and being paid in “Ecatepec de Morelos, which is one of the most dangerous places in Mexico City.”
Moving to the present, Rosa spoke about Penta’s WWE debut and the importance of representing the Hispanic community, saying:
“So just imagine that. That was like probably 20 years ago, when they both, both of them started. Seeing them how they have been able to transcend barriers in everything because they both had to learn English at an older age.
“Seeing what he said like it really got in my heart (in his promo), because I’ve seen his struggles, and I sat with him and he’s all about business.
“He has a great influence on me, personally. I get a little emotional because at a time in which things are changing so quickly, seeing someone like that being an example of hard work takes you to places, and you will utilize every platform that you can to become successful, it means a lot.
“Representation means everything. This is a beautiful moment for Hispanics in professional wrestling, because finally, we are seeing some change, and we’re seeing that they’re respecting our traditions and that we’re given a space where we can be ourselves. So that’s why I was so proud.”
Former AEW star Ethan Page has also reflected on Penta joining WWE and having his family at ringside for his debut, saying that he can relate to the star.
