Matt Hardy discussed Penta’s debut in WWE, who he faced in AEW, and also talked about Penta reuniting with Rey Fenix.
Penta’s debut was widely appreciated by fans and pundits like Eric Bischoff and Bully Ray, and former WWE star Matt Hardy was also pleased with his performance.
“I thought it was great,” Hardy said of Penta’s debut on “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy“ “I thought it was great, I thought Penta coming out (and) working against Chad Gable, Chad Gable was great for him. Chad Gable is amazing, he’s so talented, and what’s more, he’s also a great guy. For Penta to come out and work against Chad Gable, a truly competitive and strong match was exactly how Penta needed to be presented. »
The veteran star also discussed the future of Penta’s brother and AEW star Rey Fenix. Fenix will likely be a part of AEW for a little while, as he is still under contract, but it is certain that he will join WWE soon. Hardy hopes the duo can join forces again in the future and believes it is inevitable.
“It’s inevitable,” Hardy began. “They’ll have a good life and they’ll have a good career too. I’m so happy for these guys, they’re both good guys, they’re both very talented, and they busted their asses working from the bottom up, they went through the trenches, they did everything.”
Hardy is happy with the way Penta has been presented in WWE so far and believes the luchador deserves it. He also highlighted how WWE should capitalize on Penta’s mask, stating that it was smart of WWE to sell Penta masks even before his debut. After wrestling him multiple times in AEW, Hardy added that the new WWE star knows what it takes to entertain audiences.
