AEW commentator Jim Ross was somewhat taken aback by the significant buzz WWE built up for Penta ahead of his debut on this week’s episode of RAW.

After weeks of vignettes teasing his arrival, the former AEW Tag Team and Trios Champion arrived this week with a victory over Chad Gable.

On a recent edition of his “Grilling JR” podcast, Ross spoke about Penta’s debut in WWE after years as part of AEW. He said,

“I was a little surprised at the hype. So what it tells me is that WWE and Triple H covet him in a significant way, where he’s gonna be in main events or semi-main events within the next year, if not sooner.”

Ross recalled Penta being a “soft-spoken guy, no trouble” in AEW, though acknowledged that he wasn’t the only high-flyer on the roster. He said,

“He wasn’t the only one doing it, so it made it less special. WWE’s got a good stock of luchadores. They got several guys on the roster that have that background. Just gotta’ be careful of how you book him.”

Penta’s brother Rey Fenix remains part of AEW though he hasn’t been used for months. Fenix has alluded to “inhumane treatment” during his absence.
