Penta quickly became a WWE fan favorite upon arriving four months ago. While fans and officials welcomed the Lucha star with open arms, Penta has made several enemies due to how good he is in the ring. The former TNA World Champion just blasted a certain superstar and shared observations from a match.

Zero-Fear has been on a tear since defeating Chad Gable for his WWE RAW debut in January. The one-half of The Lucha Brothers began mounting momentum while waiting on his brother Rey Fenix to arrive. The three-time AEW champion debuted on SmackDown in April, then faced Gable's masked alter-ego at WrestleMania 41: El Grande Americano. Amid the heat between the two sides, Penta defeated Gable on this week's RAW in their rematch.

Penta joined Sam Roberts and Megan Morant on the WWE RAW Recap following Monday's live episode in Louisville, KY. Roberts pointed out that Penta already has issues with various people, including all the members of The Judgment Day and El Grande Americano, who, according to Sam, is a Luchador just like Penta.

The host then wondered if Penta was just hard to get along with. The two-time AEW champion fired back at him, declaring Gable to be a stupid clown.

"Yes, so... the El Grande Americano, or Chad Gable, or whatever his name is, [doesn't] matter. He is a a stupid clown because he is a fake Luchador. The real Luchador is Penta, and tonight I showed him and the whole world who is Penta, and who is the best Luchador in this world. No, no, no... not in this world, in this [WWE] Universe," Penta said. [From 28:26 to 28:51]

Roberts then mentioned Penta's WWE debut win over Gable in January, and asked how different Monday's match felt against the same opponent.

"Hmm, yes. To be honest, the difference between the first match with Chad Gable and tonight was... he is more aggressive in some parts of the match, you know, so I feel him more because I'm... when it was the first time, he knew me, right? Or maybe a little bit, but now he knows more about me, this is the difference. He knows what are my moves, how is my 'something,' you know? Now he has studied me, I think all month, for this match, or all week, I don't know. But tonight it was more difficult than the first time. This is the truth, brother," Penta said.

Penta and Gable have also had four singles matches at non-televised WWE live events. Penta won all four matches on the recent Road to WrestleMania tour of Europe, and Monday's RAW win put his record against the Olympian at 6-0.
