The newest face of fear and the standard on RAW - 5 dream opponents for Penta El Zero Miedo in WWE

The wrestling industry is a fluid business. One star will leave WWE and appear in AEW or TNA. The opposite has happened a lot lately as some of the earliest stars to sign with Tony Khan's company have seen their deals expire.

Khan looks to add big names from all over the world including Mercedes Mone, Kazuchika Okada, Mariah May, and Will Ospreay. However, those signings have meant less usage for names like Rey Fenix, Penta El Zero Miedo, Wardlow, Ricky Starks, or Malakai Black.

Injuries have played a big part in the booking but stars who helped to build the company may continue to move on.

The former IMPACT World Champion has already crossed paths with Rey Mysterio, Santos Escobar, Karrion, Kross, and Andrade. Penta is one of the most talented luchadors in the industry. It will not come as a surprise if WWE were to pursue him and make him a part of the roster, especially if Rey Mysterio hangs up his boots in the near future.

If he leaves AEW, the next five big feuds will await Pentagon Jr. in WWE.


#5. LA Knight will mix it up with anyone

Penta El Zero Miedo's first language is Spanish, but he can say a few lines in English when necessary. He doesn't need to speak much due to his natural charisma and "It Factor" that few stars possess.

If Triple H ends up signing the Luchador, an easy way to book him would be against someone like LA Knight. Knight has enough bravado and skills in promos to carry a feud as evidenced by his feud with Logan Paul.

The Megastar could mock or talk up Penta's accomplishments outside of WWE or team with him to be the voice if he joins the company.


#4. Gunther has set records in WWE

Gunther has become one of the litmus test stars in WWE. He's risen the ranks in the company over the last few years, defeating stalwarts like Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, and others along the way.

The Ring General is well-renowned for his physical style, including numerous chops during a match. His opponents often leave with red chests due to the amount of damage he inflicts during a fight.

Pentagon, like most contemporary stars, also uses chops. The difference is that he wears gloves but makes a scene when he takes them off for offense. Both Gunther and Pentagon are physical stars who can endure limitless punishment. It would be a test of wills in a potential pairing.


#3. Uncle Howdy could test Pentagon's motto

Pentagon Jr.'s motto is "Cero Miedo" which translates to "Zero Fear." It means he is fearless regardless of his opponent and isn't afraid of anything. That can extend to hardcore matches or facing a friend or family member like his brother, Rey Fenix.

The Wyatt Sicks and Uncle Howdy have haunted RAW over the last month. Chad Gable has been their first target but others who have abandoned or abused their families could be next.

The former AEW Trios Champ dabbled in the dark side in Lucha Underground, so revisiting it in WWE would be a different angle for the fans.


#2. Seth Rollins is one of the top stars in the industry

Whenever a 'dream opponent' is discussed for a potential WWE signing, Seth Rollins has to always be on the list. He's played a litany of characters, from defiant face to dastardly heel.

His in-ring skills are among the best in the business and he can blend any style into his matches. Rollins also makes every opponent look good, so he could help hide any potential glitches in Pentagon's game should he join the company.

The WWE style is different from the independent style that Pentagon has used in most of his career. Triple H favors better pacing and in-ring storytelling rather than relying on too many spots and no-selling of big moves. Rollins came from the same indie scene but adapted easily, becoming a top star in the world.


#1. Dominik Mysterio has faced several other stars linked to his father

Pentagon Jr. crossed paths with Rey Mysterio a few times before the legendary Luchador returned to WWE. Both stars competed in Lucha Underground and AAA.

It's safe to say a lot of the current crop of performers have been influenced by the former WWE Champion. Pentagon Jr. is in that category and could join Rey's side in the LWO.

He could then go after Dominik for disrespecting his father. Then again, the AEW star could also join Dominik to oppose the Lucha legend. Dragon Lee, Carlito, and Santos Escobar have had varying alliances in the ongoing feud between father and son.
