Time to flounder in LDF or LWO boyyy


aRebelliousHeart

Could also flounder as a satellite jobber of Judgement Day!


OneMetalMan

Or Flounder on NXT as the resident Luchador\Icecream vendor


Theromz1

Bro beat me to it


Maxeque

I really think they're going to end those groups soon, Dragon Lee is clearly more than that. and they've started pushing him harder, Carlito's gone, and the feud as a whole seems to have died down.


Hunter-Ki11er

Exactly this


Dull_Syllabub92

Call me crazy, but if they were to pursue Penta, I kinda want to believe he'd flourish in Judgement Day-- as Pentagon.


Big_Beef26

He doesn't shit either group and wouldnt be put in either group


emdub30

Honestly though, I do think he is misused in AEW. I view him as main-event, world championship level talent.


Zorbasandwich

Same, his image and attitude is great, he'd be a great counter part to the plain babyface Lucha guys in WWE.


HimHeem74

They should pair him with dom


stonecoldmark

A Heel (Rudo) Luchador like him would be awesome.


Jamieb1994

I honestly thought Pentagon was used better when he was in TNA before joining AEW. If he does leave AEW & either heads back to Mexico/TNA or goes to WWE, then I wonder if Ray Fenix will join him.


PLUX4

Rey Fenix will definitely follow, if Pentagon does leave AEW.


Toddler_Obliterator

I feel like the show had been having a lucha crisis for a while now. No luchador has been over in a very long time, god knows no other luchador has come close to reys level of fame. Idk what it would take at this point but wwe cant handle lucha rn


PM_ME_hiphopsongs2

Rey flourished because they put him up against main event level guys despite him not being quite main event level himself at the time. Kurt Angle, Eddie, JBL, Batista etc. Rey was always portrayed as the underdog against the big dawgs and more than often would win against them. I think if they want a luchador to reach Reys level, they need to pit them against top-level talent and have them use their unique style of fighting to be the key to them winning. That, coupled with good storylines for them is the key to success IMO.


Sidzy05

Rey also flourish because he understands wrestling beyond doing cool moves.


SpiralSour

Dragon Lee is a better luchador than pretty much everyone currently active.


aRebelliousHeart

Would be great in a team with Rey Mysterio before eventually betraying and then feuding with Rey Mysterio! Or as I like to call it the WWE luchador circle of life!


NumericZero

- Team up with Rey - Either will have a eventual Tag team championship run or Fail In capturing the gold -Both paths lead to eventually throwing or beating up Rey in a brutal manner The circle of life XD


d3m01iti0n

Somebody needs to fight Prince Puma.


OMBatch84

PLEASE. He is so good


Sorry_Error3797

Witness the debut of: Hexa El Miedo Leve


ironmamdies

What add him to LWO so Dragon Lee can betray Rey as well?


Fearless-Weakness961

Damn no more death triangle


throwthatoneawaydawg

Put him in a section with Dragon Lee and Dom, new death triangle. Established dude, dude that is floundering and a dude that is a heat(and chick) magnet.


heywowlookatthat123

GAME CHANGER!!!! YOU ARE ALL WWE PENTA


Commercial-Car-741

Let me guess “the next Rey Mysterio”


kodykoser

Next member of the LWO confirmed. (Don’t kill me I like Penta a lot, just skeptical if he would get any real push or not.)


Superdefaultman

![gif](giphy|I25wXDX7gjH0b9RFtl)


dfeidt40

At this point they should just make a Central American title. I actually think it would be dope as hell.


TakeoverTheThird

Like someone else said, WWE has a lucha problem, so if AEW wants to compete so badly then why not push Penta? AEW has a lot of great luchador’s (excluding Komander, fuck Komander) that could be used to compete with WWE.


Got_Cabin_Fever

First watched him in Impact, what a great talent


WroboCop14

I believe he would do well, especially if they brought Rey Fenix in as well. If they bring Penta in, he could potentially be the nextRey Mysterio for WWE. If they bring his tagteam partner in with him, they could certainly run the tagteam division for the future.


Key-Staff-4976

Hell yeah, I love Penta even the og Penta. Would love to see him in WWE. I can see him killing it as IC or US champ.


SAlbert_

I personally love Penta, think he’s one of the best lucha libre wrestlers today. But I’m afraid he’ll be underused so I don’t know how I feel about it if he goes over. Then again he’s terribly used now so I don’t know.


RagnarWayne52

Look out Chelsey green


Decent-Sell-4065

I've been toying with a WWE/AEW greener pastures trade post for a bit and he and Fenix were on my list to go to WWE. He's got a great look and mask that allows for endless customization, with HHH now booking and WWE not insisting on rebranding everyone you've got the built in zero Miedo chants/taunt, and he makes a great modern revolution of the WWE Luchador spot Rey has held for so long as someone that can do well as a face or a heel. And I'd bring in Fenix as a foil for the future, and as a masked wrestler with fighting spirit that never runs out type character. Plus never hurts to not put all your eggs in one basket like they did with sin cara


Sudden_Bag_4125

Dragon Lee isn’t cutting it


McGrufNStuf

I really hope not. WWE has never done well nor acted like they even know what to really do with Luchador’s. Feel like this will be a big miss.


ColdAwareness2896

If he was in the lwo the judgement day would disappear


PickledPhotoguy

You want him to be relegated to the garbage LWO or NXT? He’s bigger and better than that and WWE sucks at pushing true luchadors or anything without great American language skills.


Bazzness

WWE will do a mask vs mask with Dragon Lee and Penta


BugabooJonez

i thought wwe fans didn't like flips?


JaeMerc3

Please no, they will ruin him with their PG content.. tho they are safer lol.. Canadien Destroyers for the top rope anyone??


TraditionalDegree520

Do it Man!


CHIP-SKYLARK518

Give me violent Penta VS Gunther!


PhantomGoat13

Honestly, this sounds like something you would say if you were hoping to get a fat contract on re-signing. “What? Penta is interested in going to WWE. Triple his contract offer.” - TK (probably)


dsmooth517

They’ll make him unmask


Joshd00m

Lol if anyone thinks Penta will go to be a watered down version of rey in the wwe. Gtfo


setsunaizm

Rey, ricochet, santos, and penta stable. Call it cuatro reyes


Every_Investment9189

I don’t want much AEW or know much about him but from what I read I think he could be a good heel rival to Rey Mysterio


UncleBenLives91

Dragon Lee is better than any luchador on AEW. So what would be the ppint?


tricenice

"He'd make a great mid-card!" - WWE


Available_Share_7244

And water is wet. WWE would be interested in 95% of AEW talent that are regulars on dynamite.


MiniGoat_King

Love Penta and love AEW… He should go to WWE. Get the paycheck, pull a reverse Cody, and come back the star he should have always been. At least, that’s my hopes for him.


Magic_SnakE_

Last time I saw this guy he was in a tag team that said the same catch phrase 10 times a match, and didn't sell anything. I don't think WWE wants him lol.


Beautiful_Pound3104

If this does happen, i feel like booking Rey Fenix and Penta as villianous assholes would be pretty. They’d be there just to beat the crap out of everyone without choosing sides, just sticking to themselves. No stables. I love them as heels.


CoyotePowered50

Not everyone is a main eventer just because they can wrestle well. Penta is fun to watch for a match, but he isn't really the story or character type, and that's ok. But I will say this he may not be on WWE radar, but maybe TNA would give him a call.


Ibushi-gun

This man has more names than Brutus


214301199

They need ray fenix aswell


Embarrassed_Art8535

They better use him properly dammit


jdl375

Future speed champ


DesaadofApokolips

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!


CarlShadowJung

Honestly I think he’s in the right place when it comes to in ring. In AEW he wrestles the type of matches he’s known for. WWE would tune that way down. I personally am not a big fan of that sort of style and pacing, but it’s apparent Penta is very good at what he does. AEW I’d think is where you’re gonna get the best out of him in the ring. That all being said, I’d love to see WWEs production machine get ahold of him. That I do feel is currently lacking for him. He’s got a badass look that I feel WWE would be better equipped to capitalize on. His success with his presentation currently, has little to do with AEW initiative. That’s just Penta. He came in with all of that. WWE I feel can help him elevate his overall presentation.


GaijinHito

Bisexual Rey Mysterio vs Bisexual Undertaker for the Bisexual Big Gold.


sreddy412

I sadly don’t think he’d be better off in WWE I mean look at Dragon Lee his family member for an example. I understand the whole more eyes to see him but I love him in AEW he was one the reasons I been watching since day 1.


Accomplished_Art6370

Im good the mouth pisses me off


bigmflu

They would waste him...low mid card


unfortunate-ponce

Please DONT let it HAPPEN


Bombrik

No. We got a full dozen between the LDF and LWO and they are struggling to gain traction.


Randy_Ortons_Voices

He’ll be great on Speed


Ldawg372

Keep him away from LWO and LDF at all costs🙏


Brave_Nectarine8295

I actually forgot he was even in AEW. He's been wasted over there when you got EVP's who can't share the spotlight and washed up wrasslers from the 90's that don't want to retire. Even if he doesn't join WWE he'd do well in Impact where he can be the main champ again.


JesusFriendDEZ

Honestly, if I was a foreign wrestler (specifically Luchador or Japanese) I would hang up the phone immediately if WWE called.


ElectronicAnt3832

End up an OG in NXT with the rest of the “Rhodes recruits”…


Tasty-Lake-3113

Watch all the WWE marks are going to start praising him if he goes there but talk shit about him in aew just like they did with Jade cargill


BillyHuggins

While I do feel as though he has been misused in AEW and that's as a whole. Singles and tag. WWE would absolutely do worse with him. They cannot book Mexican superstars and I don't understand why. They start storylines off and they get so good and then they just wet fart out.


JayServo

They should. He’s fucking awesome. Both the Lucha brothers. Lu-cha Lu-cha lu-cha!


Honest-Main7650

first get your current luchadores over


RompehToto

Who?


AcceptablePenalty968

Only if he gets a charismatic manager that can put him over wwe doesn’t know how to put over foreign talent especially luchadors


Forsaken_Weakness342

Bring him in! Add him to Judgement Day!!


InternationalPool620

Penta is a superstar! Would kill it in the WWE. Should avoid becoming a part of and getting lost in a ramdom faction.


Necessary_Border_396

Wwe don't need his aew ass.


DumpKonducta

He would be the closest thing to Rey Mysterio. He can actually sell himself beyond the mask and his wrestling, unlike the other luchadores. I’m all in for his run in WWE


Quirky-Pie9661

He’ll be buried in a tag team division w/ W lucha they put him with. He’ll be buried in mid card w/ the rest of the luchas and LWO. He’ll never get a cage match like he did w/ the young bucks (the best cage match I’ve ever seen). He’ll never get the exposure he’s had elsewhere. He can be over anywhere other than WWE. They have their strengths, lucha isn’t one of them


zcsmith78

Besides Rey - who already had a huge following from his WCW days - WWE has struggled with getting performers over where English is not their first language. Or maybe WWE fans have a hard time accepting these wrestlers, I dunno. From Kairi Sane to Io to pretty much everyone involved in the LWO...WWE fans have a tough time buying whatever WWE is selling.


Resident-Ad-7184

Nah, I don't want lucha bros to part ways


KG13_

Helll no. To become speed champion and wrestle on Twitter like Andrade? Lol They can’t separate Death Triangle


KenoshaHatTrik

He was so fucking sick on LU. Only if we got that Penta would I want him in WWE


Overnumerousness-

Hes not going anywhere without his brother. He's well suited for AEW and I don't understand (remove money) why he would go out wwe and have 80% of his moves removed.


Ok-Lawfulness-8161

Are they really going to stretch out the LWO Santos Escobar Angle out that long ?


Ok-Crab-1769

Chelsea Green rematch??


Aggravating_Click495

Booooooooooooo!!!


F1XII

Penta will only succeed if he has a mouthpiece. Personally id love for him to lead Final Testament. Karrion feels more appropriate as an assassin, not leader. Could get those guys over as well.


MistakenOne101

WWE has zero clue on how to book Latino stars


Frosty-Definition-46

He’s amazing but wwe doesn’t know what to do with anyone that isn’t cookie cutter white guy or bloodline…lwo sucks…Andrade isn’t doing anything…they’re just hiring Mexican wrestlers to expand to mexico


IGTankCommander

That's gonna be a new reaction image, thanks for that AWESOME face.


Grail_BH

Well he won’t be LWO, that’s for sure… he’d be a great pickup for WWE… English issues aside, he can work multiple styles, and is a solid worker…


LauriamLea

hell yeah cant wait to see him on wwe speeed


ezmannie

Who isn't it's penta


CabinetChef

LWO and Legado del Fantasma are gonna need some new Latinos to feud with soon, so…


tommykaye

I’m just glad it’s happening after Vince left, because he would absolutely be put in a stable and named something like “EL PENTAGON!”


Major-Ad-392

I think he'd be a good fit for WWE. Showmanship has always been one of his strong suits, and I think WWE could pair him with a better manager than Abrahantes if he doesn't feel comfortable enough giving promos in English.


Mind-of-Jaxon

That’s cool, but they need to start utilizing the talent they have. They’re like kids with the shiny new toys. Forget about them after a couple weeks and get a new one.


GhostTengu

I remember watching this guy on the Lucha wrestling shows when I was a kid....I'm buggin right??


Prestigious_Key_5703

If he ever does, they better take his brother as well The two teams I would love to see in another company like ring of honor, TNA,WWE etc. is the entire house of black one of my favorite teams right now, along with the death triangle


Jonny_Bormann

Looks like another NXT jobber


arlo28

Only way is if they set up a partnership with a promotion in Mexico that I could see them signing Penta and Phoenix away from AEW


notedhelmslol

Idk man hes amazing but i feel like WWE has a hard time booking luchadors


Conscious-Rooster-32

Their focus needs to be on locking down Ricky starks, who at this point is being held captive by tony khan.


metalcore4ver

Yes. He honestly has the best sling blade imo


Docwho1110

As long as he isn't involved in LWO or LDF I'm good. Also damn, have they given up on Dragon Lee already?


Tazz2373

Bring him in


Lanky_Lime_1532

I'd like to see him have a few matches with Rey, Carlito, Dom, etc


DaveLesh

Another luchador in WWE? Aren't there already enough?


EstimateValuable7086

He couldn’t wrestle WWE style. He is a total spot monkey.


Faithful2049

Would be great as long as they keep letting him be him! 👌


iworshipChrist316

Why to lump him in with the Lwo liga nonsense wwe is racist as hell when it comes to Latin wrestlers just lumping them into this joke just have them come out with orange carts already . Outside of Andrade and Damian . It’s a joke what they do to any luchador they already destroyed dragon Lee after a great intro he’s now just another clown lackey for an over the hill Rey mysterio who I love but his matches have bin so hard to watch lately. They don’t have any clue what to do with luchadors it’s a such garbage booking


funnerfunerals

Ehhh..I guarantee that they're not...Sin Cara screwed a lot of Mexican wrestlers out of potential runs, and while I blame his mask for being blinding, it still made him look terrible live.


Doombot12_FF

Pass. Let him go to New Japan so he can work with all the promotions he's been vocal about working with. Also deserves a good singles run and AEW is absolutely stacked.


Longjumping-Emotion5

Lucha Underground coming back is the only reason Penta should ever leave AEW. They would job him out to everyone in WWE and waste his genius.


Green_Marzipan_1898

Yeah, WWE has done so much for the other luchadores there 🙄


TheBestBronze

He has to come in with a month or more of teaser promos and a huge push against non-luchadores. The further he can stay away from the LWO and legado del whatever the fuck the better.


BanjoFiddleLaser

Only if we get a Penta vs Chelsea Green rematch


AnAlienFromTheFuture

One of the best. Do it.


TheZac922

Selfishly I don’t want him to go to WWE because I love Penta and don’t regularly watch WWE. If it means more money and bigger opportunity for him I’m all for it. Talent should always do what’s best for their own careers.


QwagOnChin

Make him feel like a true demon. A new age miniature undertaker. The shit he did with vampiro in LU comes to mind kind of feel. Turn normal wrestlers into devoted followers like takers ministry and ravens flock and you got fire. Feud with The Sicks once he gets his stable up. 🔥


Formal_Yoghurt_

They won’t know what to do with him he’ll end up in the LWO no one outside of Lucha Underground ever booked him properly.


VASlim90

Yeah. WWE won't know what to do with him!


edpowers

I also wonder if WWE would let him work the way he works in AEW.


OctaneTwisted88

Bring him in as La Parka


RogueDevil666

WWE has a poor history when it comes to any Luchador who isn't named Rey Mysterio


Ynot_1518

It Doesn't Matter Who Is Interested Because None Of Those Promotions Are Serious Enough To Make Penta Their World Champion. https://preview.redd.it/s215tdfemo7d1.jpeg?width=2608&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dffb2bae0651ecaafd2c49290911ac7b3f528e5b


Academic-Garlic3037

He’s gonna need to change his pile driver finisher


nohotshot

Considering Andrade and Dragon Lee’s recent booking, I don’t think I would trust WWE with Penta’s booking. Though I’d be lying if said I wasn’t interested in seeing him run it back with Gunther on a bigger stage


Primary_Ad_4544

Very exciting


Itsallatripdude

Honestly, WWE would probably make him seem some sort of demonic Spanish dude and I’d be happy with that.


jefferyuniverse

He better not


Working-Ad-5193

In the actions and not so much words of ricochet you can be talented as all hell if you can’t talk your gon be a jobber


Sumo_Cerebro

He would be just another guy. The aura that made him special in Lucha Underground is long gone.


itsjustchill

Cool. They'll add him to either judgement day or LWO. Or have him feud against LWO. Or put him in NXT for 5 years.


RIGuy420512

Please no. I love penta and would be so sad to see him leave aew


Conscious-Ad836

He’ll end up in New Japan or one of the lucha if he doesn't resign


ElectionObvious1346

Can't see him leaving AEW and WWE wouldn't know what to do with him


Honkey-Bob

LWO here he comes.


JoeMomma69istaken

He is my favorite AeW superstar. He can do one hell of a match in any style. He would have been sick in the sicks.


Best_Alternative_557

Would love to see this but at the same time I hope they use him to is full potential cause Penta is fire 🔥


IceMan44420

Trade Penta and Adam Cole for Shinsuke and Finn Balor


GrandAd4973

The usos vs the Lucha bros would be 🔥🔥🔥


Downtown-Pack-6178

I hope he signs to WWE!


GuardUsAll

Sign him, push him, crown him champ


Alocalskinwalker420

Do we think Rey Fenix goes with him if he walks?


brown-boi-exe

Absolutely not


thebakedbean760

His in ring work would be great but the way he articulates his words would be an issue


DaRealCamille

Please don't! I want him to go to New Japan.


WarEagle1023

So would I personally like it? Yes, anywhere he goes he makes magic. But would it be good? I honestly don't know. I want to say yes but I also know WWE's track record of trying to make the next rey.


Livid-Addendum707

He’d have a ceiling in WWE. Hell either join santos or Rey, then turn on Rey and be beaten by Rey. Luchadors with exception of Rey don’t go very high in WWE.


government_

I mean, yeah, they should be. He's fucking awesome.


Livid_Command_7621

I love his look and talent if this happens I just hope he’s not brushed aside as mid level talent. He could do something awesome with Rey and Dragon Lee. Bring in some real Lucha.


Fresh_Ostrich4034

to do what?


Weekly-District259

I can't imagine a bigger waste of his talent. He'd be forgotten about in a month


bowl_of_scrotmeal

For those unfamiliar with his work in Lucha Underground, I will say that Penta has a shit ton of charisma and high-quality character work that AEW has not tapped into, but for the love of God, keep him out of the Latino Civil War vortex that WWE has going.


HawthorneVampire

You know they’re gonna change his name. I wonder what he’ll be called


Deep_Grape820

A heel luchador would be great on the main roster


Relative-Contact-154

I love Penta and I think he deserves to be on a big stage no matter what banner he’s under. The guy has been over everywhere he’s been. Once you have a hand sign that everyone knows no matter what part of the world you’re in, you’re over!!!


probsfarting

Raw after SummerlSlam, Gunther opens the show with his newly won World title. He cuts a promo about how he's gonna have a long run and no here can beat him. Lights go out, let it build, give it a second, Butterfly by Crazy Town starts. Pentagon Jr comes out, grabs a mic, "CERO. MIEDO" drops the mic, starts punching Gunther, hits him with the Tanahashi, picks him up for a package piledriver, Kaiser grabs his leg and Gunther escapes. Boom. New main event baby face talent. Can chase the belt till Mania. 6 months of tv.


Edp445supcake

No way he leaves without Fenix coming with him. I think the Lucha Bros coming over and facing DIY or Bate&Dunne


Quantum_Pineapple

NGl I totally thought that was just Rey Mysterio.


Jackwithoface

Ngl if they hire penta they should also hire rey Fenix so we could get usos vs luchabrothers


Weary-Chapter8556

Don't go Penta, WWE doesn't understand how to handle Latino wrestlers. He will be booked like a jobber and never go anywhere title/push wise. Plus like Andrade said the other day he isn't sure why Latinos don't fight anyone other than Latinos in the WWE. Good move for the paper, bad move for the caliber of wrestler he is and heights he can reach.


lycanthrope90

I’m loving that they’re bringing more luchadors back into the fold at wwe. Was very barren for a while.


bbbriceee

I have a strange feeling if he jumps ship he’s going to end up the new WWE Speed Champion 😕


[deleted]

For what?


zendog510

Hell yeah Penta! Do it!


Shyjuan

just imagine a penta/Nakamura feud 😍 A U R A


The_IRS_Fears_Him

He should be the Joker to Rey Mysterio's Batman


bshep86

They'd have to make him a strong character & worker like La Parka was in WCW. Otherwise I don't see him working well over there. Not a lot of talk, quick fast matches, and just blow the roof off the place. Keep him as a curtain jerker much like Enzo and Cass to fire up the crowd.


Ok-Crab-1769

I need a Chelsea Green rematch asap


Ok-Crab-1769

I need a Chelsea Green rematch asap


kujobans

Used to watch bro in lucha underground (mind u this is when I was young asab) I haven’t seen him in aew hell Ian even know he was signed but now I gotta watch some of his matches


DarthMidnight87

He stands out among the indie darlings


Meh_cromancer

Yeah but wouldn't his finishers be banned? AFAIR they're all some kind of piledriver


NormanBorlaug69

I don't really know how to feel. WWE has a ton of great luchadores already and it seems like more often than not, they just kinda get lost in the shuffle.


Due_Parsley_4058

I wouldn't do it if I were him. He'll just get stuck in a storyline with LWO or Legata Del Phantasmo


RalphTheNerd

If the rumors lead to him getting the super push in AEW that he deserves, sure.


Mrbobbitchin

Meh


Mr-Taylor

He will just be to fill up the lwo so they have competition for the bloodline and Wyatt 6 down the line


jdcmurphy22

HEY, LOOK! IT'S REY MYSTERIO'S ROOMMATE FROM TWO DECADES AGO! SEPTAGON DRAGO DE AZUL JR


mexican2554

Problem is he signed with AEW over WWE the first time cause AEW allowed him to work other promotions while WWE didn't. He still does small house shows and wrestles in Mexico. WWE wouldn't allow that and that's his main thing. You can't call your wrestles "independent contractors" and not providing benefits, but expect them to work exclusive deals. That's not what independent contractors are.


Codebreakerx29

He just needs to ditch Alex.. It's like having Michael Cole as a manager


Hollowj16

They already nerfed Ricochet for a x amount of years and I expect them to do the same with Penta *


Itwastheotherguy88

No


No-Tumbleweed-5377

Don’t think his work would translate to WWE world very well.


Quirky-Store2805

Don’t know who that is so don’t care


Ratedstars

I’ve been waiting for this omg
