WWE RAW rolled into Londons O2 Arena on March 31, but it wasnt a perfect night for everyoneespecially not for Penta. The masked star, fresh off a fiery start to his WWE run, just took his first L inside a WWE ring, and fans didnt see it coming.
Penta teamed up with Bron Breakker to face Judgment Days Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor. With both Penta and Balor eyeing GUNTHERs Intercontinental Championship, this tag match carried some extra heat. But when it came down to the final bell, Finn Balor scored the pinfall over Pentaand it was clean. No outside interference, no shady ref call. Penta just didnt kick out.
Thats a rare sight for longtime fans of the former Lucha Brother, whos known for making opponents regret even stepping in the ring with him. But Monday night marked his first official WWE loss, and the vibe backstage says hes already plotting redemption.
Despite the loss, its clear WWE has big plans for Penta. Hes been protected on screen and continues to draw big reactions from the crowd. In todays WWE landscape, even top-tier stars take the occasional lossjust ask Cody Rhodes.
Still, this one stings for fans who expected Pentas undefeated streak to last a bit longer. Expect him to bounce back strongand possibly with some revenge aimed directly at Balor.
Are you surprised WWE handed Penta his first loss in a tag match? Should he go after Balor next or stay focused on GUNTHERs gold? Drop your thoughts belowwere watching.
