Penta buried after major hype; WWE veteran furious over shocking downfall (Exclusive)

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently spoke about Penta's diminished status in the company. The star was in action on RAW this week.

The 40-year-old star faced Bron Breakker in a singles match this week. Despite the initial back and forth, Breakker was just too devious, softening up Penta. He snapped his opponent with a vicious Spear to end the match and pick up the win.

This week on Legion of RAW, Vince Russo was disappointed with Penta's booking. He recalled how WWE hyped the star when he debuted in the company. Russo mentioned that Penta received video packages, an extravagant entrance, and a stellar winning streak. However, the veteran writer feels that the luchador has now been relegated to the midcard and is treated like just any other wrestler.

"As Bron Breakker is beating Penta, do you remember Penta's buildup? The vignettes, we had him on winning every week. How long does it take for them to make every wrestler just another wrestler on the card? Penta now is just another wrestler on the card. That's it." [From 4:15 onwards]

Penta has lost his initial momentum over the past few weeks, losing some important matches, including the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. It will be interesting to see if the WWE star can redeem himself in the coming weeks.
