AEW Star Comments On His Contract Expiry Info Leaking & Whether He Is Open To Joining WWE

It was recently revealed on social media by @luchalibreonlin that Penta El Zero Miedo, also known as Pentagón Jr., was possibly going to explore free agency once his AEW contract expires later this year. This subsequently led to online speculation that he could be WWE-bound, with it understood the company has shown interest in him. And now, during an interview with YouTuber Lalo Elizarrarás , he has commented on this, first saying he doesn’t know how his contract info leaked but adding that if WWE wanted to offer him something, he would evaluate it as it would be his last big contract.

“You know how information can be spread out on social media and how misinterpreted it can get. I don’t know how that information about my contract expiring leaked, and I prefer to focus on my present, and my present is currently with AEW … If any company like WWE wanted to offer me something, I would need to evaluate because there is a lot of interests on the way. A lot of people depend on me, from my merch people the ones that work on my restaurant, that work on the gym, the school, too many people depend on Penta, not just me.

There isn’t anything tangible. If there was to be anything tangible, we would need to evaluate it check what is more convenient both financially and in-ring. Someone told me that it was like playing for Barcelona while you should play for Real Madrid. I can see that perspective, but I am not that young, and it would be my last big contract.”

The 39-year-old luchador broke into the business in 2007, initially working as a masked character called Zaius. Then, having gained experience, he would go on to debut for AAA as Dark Dragon before eventually becoming Pentagón Jr. During his time with AAA, he would also work on the El Rey series Lucha Underground, which catapulted him to fame in the US and paved the way for him to wrestle for PWG, Impact Wrestling, and MLW. However, his career reached new heights when he joined AEW and became a member of the Death Triangle stable alongside his brother Rey Fénix, Pac, and manager Alex Abrahantes.
