Penta’s first-round clash with Solo Sikoa on this week’s WWE RAW came to an abrupt and worrying end, as the match was waved off after Penta appeared to suffer an injury mid-bout. With the referee stopping the action, Sikoa was awarded the win in the ongoing “Last Time Is Now” tournament.
Following the scare, Penta took to social media to address fans directly. While he didn’t reveal what type of injury he suffered or how long he expects to be out, he made it clear that Monday’s setback hasn’t shaken his resolve.
In a passionate message, Penta thanked everyone who reached out, saying the situation pushed him both physically and mentally. He framed the moment as a reminder of the resilience he’s built throughout his career, calling himself a “Mexican warrior” shaped by struggle and pride. He also took a moment to show respect to Sikoa, praising him for a clean, professional match before things went south.
Most importantly for fans, Penta promised he won’t be sidelined for long. He vowed to return “very soon,” more focused and determined to finish the business he feels he left behind.
As of now, WWE hasn’t provided an official medical update, but Penta’s message suggests he’s staying positive and preparing for a quick comeback. We’ll keep you posted as more details emerge.
Fans held their breath during the November 24th episode of WWE RAW when Penta took a frightening spill mid-match. The injury scare came during his bout with Solo Sikoa in the Last Time Is Now Tournament, forcing officials to wave off the match as medical staff rushed in. The sudden stoppage had viewers worried the Lucha star had suffered a serious injury.
Thankfully, the latest update paints a much more encouraging picture.
According to new information emerging after the show, Penta’s condition isn’t nearly as severe as many initially feared. While the awkward fall looked rough in real time and clearly warranted immediate medical attention, early evaluations indicate that he avoided any major injury.
More details are still to come, but for now, things are trending in the right direction. With how physical Penta’s style is — and how often he puts his body on the line — the quick response from WWE’s ringside team likely helped prevent the situation from getting worse.

WWE Raw will air live globally on Netflix from the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
In a surprise that lit up social media before the bell even rang, former TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth stepped back into WWE rings Monday night—only this time he re-embraced the persona fans know best: Dolph Ziggler. The longtime WWE standout returned on “Raw” as a mystery entrant in the “Last Time Is Now” tournament, a high-stakes bracket that will determine who gets the honor of facing John Cena in his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
But Ziggler’s comeback run hit a wall early, courtesy of Solo Sikoa.
After “Raw” GM Adam Pearce kept Sikoa’s opponent under wraps all night, Ziggler emerged to a huge reaction. Sikoa made his entrance with Talla Tonga at his side, though he wouldn’t end up needing any backup. Ziggler came out hot, trying to overwhelm Sikoa with quick strikes and a series of elbow drops as he looked to shake off any ring rust.
The former World Heavyweight Champion pushed the pace, even locking in an early submission attempt that forced Sikoa to scramble for the ropes. When the action spilled to the floor, Ziggler bounced Sikoa off the announce desk, giving himself a brief opening. Back inside, a top-rope elbow and the Blonde Ambition weren’t enough—Sikoa kicked out with authority each time.
Momentum shifted when Ziggler lined up for Sweet Chin Music. Sikoa caught the first attempt, but Ziggler still managed to land a clean shot moments later. The problem? It didn’t keep Sikoa down for long. As Ziggler tried to regain his balance, Sikoa blasted him with a devastating Samoan Spike, dropping the 19-year WWE veteran for the three-count.
With the win, Solo Sikoa advances in the tournament, inching closer to a potential showdown with John Cena. As for Ziggler, his WWE return created plenty of buzz—even if his run in the bracket ended just as quickly as it began.

According to BodySlam+, former WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, former Undisputed WWE Champion Roman Reigns, and recently returned former Divas Champion AJ Lee are all expected backstage for Monday night’s show. There is no word on whether any of them will be on the show itself, or if they will even show up, as the list was only of “expected” WWE stars who were supposed to be backstage.
The WWE Women’s World Championship picture took a stunning twist on Monday night’s Raw, as Nikki Bella viciously turned on Stephanie Vaquer moments after the champion successfully defended her title against Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. What began as a moment of celebration quickly spiraled into betrayal, as Bella struck down the very woman she had publicly supported for months.
Vaquer entered the triple threat match knowing the odds were against her — facing both the powerhouse Rodriguez and the cunning Perez. From the opening bell, Rodriguez used her strength advantage to dominate, throwing Vaquer around with ease. But the technically gifted Vaquer weathered the storm, countering a flurry of power moves and nearly sealing the win with a stunning crossbody, only for Rodriguez to kick out at two.
The chaos outside the ring nearly cost Vaquer the match when Perez grabbed her leg, but Bella, who had been ringside offering moral support, intervened by chasing Perez away. The distraction gave Vaquer a much-needed opening. After dodging a middle-rope attack from Rodriguez, the champion landed her devastating Spinal Tap, securing the three-count and retaining her title.
However, Vaquer’s celebration was short-lived. Perez, furious over the loss, tried to ambush the champion, but Bella once again ran her off — seemingly coming to Vaquer’s aid. That’s when the shocking moment unfolded. As Vaquer turned to thank her longtime supporter, Nikki Bella blasted her in the face with the championship belt. The WWE Hall of Famer then stood over the fallen champion, holding the Women’s World Title high while taunting the crowd.
In a symbolic gesture, Bella tore off her trademark red “Fearless” top to reveal a darker, edgier version of her iconic gear — signaling a dramatic transformation and the rebirth of the “Fearless” persona with a sinister twist.
The message was clear: Nikki Bella isn’t here to mentor anymore — she’s here to conquer. While WWE hasn’t announced when the inevitable showdown between Bella and Vaquer will take place, one thing is certain: the Women’s World Championship scene just became a lot more dangerous.
Backstage Reaction to Nikki Bella’s Stunning Heel Turn
Backstage sources say Nikki Bella’s shocking attack on Stephanie Vaquer was one of the most talked-about moments of the night among talent and production staff. Many within WWE reportedly kept the turn tightly under wraps to preserve the surprise, with only a handful of people aware of the angle before showtime.
According to one insider, WWE officials view Bella’s heel turn as a “statement moment” designed to jolt the women’s division and spark a major new rivalry heading into the winter season. The creative team is said to be thrilled about Bella’s willingness to return in a darker, more ruthless role — a stark contrast from her previous appearances as a beloved Hall of Famer and reality TV star.
Fan reactions online were equally intense. Social media lit up with mixed emotions — some fans praising the storytelling and the unexpected swerve, while others expressed shock at seeing Bella take down her own protégé. Many noted the symbolism in Bella shedding her red “Fearless” tank top, calling it a powerful visual for a full-blown heel rebirth.
Whether Bella’s new attitude leads her straight into a title match with Vaquer remains to be seen, but one thing’s clear: WWE has reignited one of its biggest female names, and the Women’s World Championship picture just got its most intriguing twist in months.
WWE Raw airs live globally tonight on Netflix from TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts beginning at 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT.
After weeks of speculation, the legendary Rey Mysterio made his long-awaited return to WWE Raw last night — and he didn’t waste time making a statement. The WWE Hall of Famer, back from a groin injury, confronted his son, Dominik Mysterio, who has been riding high as both the Intercontinental and AAA Mega Champion.
Dominik kicked off the segment in classic fashion, bragging about his recent victories over Rusev and Penta at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Declaring himself the “King of the Luchadores,” Dominik claimed to have surpassed not only his father but the entire lucha libre tradition. That’s when Rey’s music hit, and the arena erupted.
Rey, clearly emotional, told his son that while he could boast about championships all he wanted, calling himself “King of the Luchadores” was crossing a sacred line. The elder Mysterio reminded Dominik that such a title carries generations of history — invoking names like El Santo and Eddie Guerrero — and accused his son of disrespecting their heritage.
Dominik didn’t back down, firing back that there’s one luchador he knows he’s better than — his own father. Rey, refusing to let the insult stand, removed his jacket, ready to throw down. Tensions hit a boiling point when Dominik took a swing, only for Rey to block the punch and connect with a flurry of his own. Moments later, the WWE Universe was on its feet as Rey nailed his son with a 619. He went to the top rope for a frog splash, but Dominik wisely rolled out of the ring before his father could seal the moment.
Rey Mysterio’s message was loud and clear: as long as he’s around, Dominik may hold gold, but he’ll never be the true “King of the Luchadores.”
With Rey officially back in action, it looks like the Mysterio family war is far from over — and this chapter might be the most personal one yet.
WWE Raw airs live on Monday globally on Netflix from the Rio Rancho Events Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico with a start time of 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT.
