Penta Zero Miedo, the lucha libre sensation, has ignited excitement since his WWE debut earlier this year, establishing himself with bold aspirations and fierce rivalries. After making waves with his unique blend of high-flying acrobatics and powerhouse strikes, Penta is on the hunt for gold, setting his eyes on the coveted Intercontinental Championship.
Since first entering the ring on January 13, 2025, Penta has taken the WWE by storm. He kicked off his career with gripping contests against formidable opponents such as Chad Gable and Pete Dunne, showcasing incredible athleticism and resilience. At the Royal Rumble on February 1, he tantalized fans by opening the 30-man over-the-top rope elimination match, wrestling against the legendary Rey Mysterio and proving his mettle by lasting over 40 minutes before meeting his end at the hands of Finn Balor.
Following this impressive showing, Penta expressed his ambitions during interviews, particularly highlighting his interest in clashing with current Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker. “Yeah, to be honest, he is one of the best wrestlers in the world. He is a beast in the ring. I like to face this kind of wrestlers because it makes Penta becomes more aggressive, more violent. But why not? But step by step. The first goal is the Royal Rumble,” he noted during his conversation with PJ and Pluggo on the podcast Between Two Beards.
While many fans eagerly draw parallels between Penta and the iconic Rey Mysterio, Penta fervently rejects the notion of merely being the next Mysterio. “I respect Rey Mysterio immensely,” he emphasized, “but I want to be the first Penta. If I have to go through Rey to get there, so be it.” This declaration underlines his determination to forge his own path and create his own legacy within the WWE universe.
Penta's arrival was characterized as one of the most exciting signings for the promotion, not simply for his wrestling prowess but also for the energy and unpredictability he brings to the roster. His debut garnered massive attention, not only from dedicated wrestling fans but also from notable figures outside the ring. For example, NFL star George Kittle incorporated Penta's signature hand gesture, Cero Miedo (No Fear), as part of his celebrations during his games.
Remembering his debut match against Chad Gable, Penta shared how deeply emotional the moment was for him. “I had mixed emotions and feelings because my family was there. My little girl was crying when I was in the locker room. So when my music hit, I forgot about everything when I went to the ring. Chad Gable is one of the best wrestlers in the world. I think it was the best opening for me. After the match, it was definitely a turning point in my career,” he recounted during one of his interviews with TV Insider. This move marks not just his entry but also his transformation to the heart of wrestling’s prominent stage.
Not one to back down from challenges, Penta continues to strive for greater heights. He has indicated several other legendary talents on his radar for potential matches, including John Cena, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Cody Rhodes. He expressed his willingness to face all these icons, indicating his commitment to fight his way to the top.
Penta's story so far has been one of remarkable growth and ambition. His performances have not only captured the attention of the audience but have also positioned him as one of the most electrifying elements of WWE today. Every time he steps inside the ring, fans witness the evolution of Penta Zero Miedo, who is determined to become both successful and unique under the bright lights of WWE.
Looking forward, as Penta dreams of WrestleMania, his focus remains clearer than ever. With his talents, drive, and ambition, he is poised to leave an indelible mark on WWE, reaffirming the idea of what it means to be 'lucha royalty' and perhaps, someday, the Intercontinental Champion.
