Penta entrance

Penta suffered a legitimate shoulder injury on the November 24, 2025, episode of WWE Raw.

It happened during a quarterfinal match in the “Last Time Is Now” tournament against Solo Sikoa.

He attempted a hurricanrana off the crowd barrier onto Sikoa outside the ring.

The Mexican star failed to complete the full rotation, landing awkwardly on his shoulder.

He immediately signaled distress with the X hand gesture to the referee, and medical personnel rushed in during a commercial break.

The match was stopped, awarding the win to Sikoa.

Ahead of Friday Night SmackDown, a major update regarding the injured luchador has come to light.

Renowned physician Dr. Odiseo informed the fans on Instagram that Penta is healing from his injury very well.

He is hopeful that he’ll make it to this week’s Friday Night show.

@penta_zero_miedo is on the right track and we’ve had good results so far.

However, we can’t get complacent and must continue working together. I’m confident it will be ready by Friday. [translated via Google]

A few weeks ago, Penta reunited with Rey Fenix to challenge Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano for a match at the AAA Guerra de Titanes in Guadalajara on December 20.

When a fan asked if the 40-year-old star would be cleared to wrestle at the event, Dr. Odiseo showed some hope.

This will be the first time The Lucha Brothers reunite after leaving AEW.

They left AEW because they felt stagnant and creatively unfulfilled after five years with the company.

Despite AEW owner Tony Khan offering them more money to stay, they had already made up their minds to move on to new challenges.

Penta debuted in WWE on January 13, 2025, and Rey Fenix followed on April 4, 2025.

They have been kept separated in WWE, with Penta on Raw and Fenix on SmackDown, though plans are to eventually reunite them.
