Lucha Underground’s first three seasons saw the rise of quite a few stars. Pentagon Dark is on the short list of the biggest stars in the promotion and is fairly unique for having thrived despite never working with WWE, New Japan or other worldwide promotions.

On the contrary, he’s built his career almost entirely in the realm of lucha libre. Despite only speaking in Spanish, proved his ability to crossover as a star for US audiences in Lucha Underground.

Pentagon Dark may struggle in WWE for his limited English speaking skills, but if WWE were to take on Lucha Underground, it would have the opportunity to build the antihero’s reputation even further on WWE Network broadcasts before bringing him to NXT and hopefully building him to the point where he really could thrive as a genuinely fresh act on the WWE main roster.

Pentagon Dark marks one of the most mutually beneficial propositions for WWE in a Lucha Underground buyout.
