Top five superstars who can hand Penta his first loss in WWE

Penta has become the latest addition to the WWE roster from AEW.

Penta has been a renowned face in the world of luchadors for years. Moreover, he and his brother, Rey Fenix, became a top tag team and garnered mainstream attention for their stint in AEW. However, following the end of his contract in November 2024, Penta signed with a rival promotion, WWE and made his debut on the second episode of WWE RAW on Netflix.

So far, Penta has secured huge wins over RAW stars like Chad Gable and Pete Dunne, gaining huge momentum. But it is safe to say that someone on the WWE roster would hand him his first loss in the future. Here are the top five names on the WWE RAW roster that can hand Penta his first loss in the company.

5. Bron Breakker

Penta’s first two performances have cemented his status as a top-tier in-ring performer with a bright future in WWE. He could continue to gain a series of wins and earn the right to challenge the current WWE Intercontinental Champion, Bron Breakker. This could be the match where Breakker puts down the former AEW star in dominant fashion and gives him his first WWE loss.

4. Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre is one of the strongest and most fierce WWE superstars of the modern era. The Scottish Warrior is known to go to lengths to inflict physical damage on his foes and hates the attention shifting from him to someone else. That has been the case since Penta’s WWE debut, which garnered a lot of reactions from the audience. Sensing that, McIntyre could challenge Penta to a match and put him down for good measure, handing him his first loss in the company.

3. Dragon Lee

The WWE Universe would surely be looking at luchadors on the current roster to engage in a fast-paced and highly exhilarating showdown down the road. One of those names is Dragon Lee, who is an upcoming prospect for the company. To push their own homegrown WWE talent, WWE can book Dragon Lee in a match against Penta and possibly score the upset over the renowned luchador to gain the maximum momentum he can.

2. Chad Gable

Chad Gable has emerged as a captivating and exciting addition to the WWE roster. The leader of the American-Made faction has proven his worth as a top fixture for Monday Night RAW over the last year. However, Gable was also the first victim of Penta, who scored his WWE debut win over the former WWE tag team champion. Gable, in a fit of rage, could once again challenge Penta to a match. Having understood his style and in-ring skills, Chad Gable could rework his game plan and pick up the win over Penta this time.

1. Rey Mysterio

One of the biggest dream matches that the WWE Universe would be clamouring to witness since Penta’s signing with WWE is against, perhaps, the most successful luchador in professional wrestling, Rey Mysterio.

The WWE Hall of Famer has been an inspiration to many luchadors, including Penta himself, who would possibly be eyeing a match against the Master of the 619. However, the dream showdown could turn into Penta’s first loss in WWE as the exciting and fast-paced showdown between him and Mysterio could end in Penta losing the bout.
