WWE has already revealed the identity of the mystery luchador ahead of their upcoming debut on Monday Night Raw.
On the Raw on Netflix debut episode, Chad Gable was seen talking with General Manager Adam Pearce and demanded a match with the best luchador he had. Pearce agreed and booked the match for the January 13th Raw. With former AEW star Penta El Zero Miedo rumoured to be the star in question and with multiple vignettes teasing Penta’s arrival, fans are expecting to see the former Tag Team Champion face Gable on the show.
Although the debut is all but confirmed and Triple H stated in the Raw post-show press conference that the mystery opponent is who fans think it is, the company has now confirmed that Penta is a part of the roster.
As posted by the WWE Shop social media account, Penta T-Shirts and masks are now available to purchase online. Penta is also seen on the WWE Shop homepage and featured prominently on the website.

The former AEW star was rumoured to become a part of WWE when his contract expired in late 2024.
In an interesting update, one AEW star has seen their merchandise removed from the online store.
