During the WWE Raw event on November 24, Penta injured his shoulder in the Last Time Is Now Tournament quarterfinal match against Solo Cicore, raising concerns about whether he would be sidelined for the rest of the year. Fortunately, Dr. Odiseo, who has been providing updates on Penta’s recovery over the last two weeks, shared encouraging news about the 40-year-old wrestler’s rehabilitation progress.
Penta is set to reunite with his brother Rey Fenix as the Lucha Brothers at the AAA Guerra de Titanes event on December 20, where they will face Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano in a tag team bout. Although Dr. Odiseo noted that Penta is recovering well, he also stressed that the final decision on whether Penta competes rests with WWE. This reunion, if it happens, will mark the Lucha Brothers’ first match together since signing with WWE earlier in 2024, their last outing being a victory over Private Party at AEW Rampage in July 2024.
Following Penta’s injury in the quarterfinals, which led to Sicore winning by a referee’s decision, speculation arose that Sicore might have faced Gunther in the semifinals if the match had continued. However, reports confirmed that Sicore was pre-determined to win, and the match ended about six to eight minutes earlier than usual.
Fan Take: This update is crucial for WWE fans eagerly anticipating the Lucha Brothers’ return, as their dynamic tandem significantly enhances tag team competition. Penta’s timely recovery could bring fresh excitement to WWE storylines and demonstrate the resilience and star power these performers bring to the sport.
