An update is available on Penta.
Penta suffered a legitimate injury on the November 24 episode of RAW after an awkward landing from performing a Hurricanrana off the barricade outside the ring during his match against Solo Sikoa. This was part of the Last Time Is Now Tournament to determine John Cena’s final opponent. Sikoa won the bout as a result, via forfeit.
In a video shared on Instagram, PENTA’s physician, Dr. Odiseo, shared that he is cleared to wrestle, but was unsure when PENTA would compete again.
“Penta is recovering very well and he has been cleared to wrestle again, but I cannot say if he will wrestle on December 20. Not because of his injury, but because of WWE. It depends 100% on WWE if he can compete.”
This follows an earlier Instagram update where the doctor predicted Penta would be ready by Friday. That timeline is now official, but the decision is no longer medical. WWE will determine whether he steps back into the ring at AAA’s big year-end show.
Penta had been scheduled to reunite with Rey Fenix for a marquee tag match against Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano, announced before his Raw injury. Fans are still waiting to see if that long-awaited showdown will go ahead.
