Video for new superstar airs during SmackDown

[Ricky Smarks]

Yeah I was kinda hoping Fenix's accidental international title run would have forced them to be booked solo but then he got hurt during that too bc by that point I was interested and what we could get out of that.

My biggest question out of this is, do they even acknowledge he's related to Penta since they're on different shows? Feels weird either way, bc like obviously most will know so you probably shouldn't ignore it, but if you do make it known, there will be a large portion of the fan base clamoring for them to team already.

I'd be mum about it until they met in the back or the ring during a joint PLE.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

They'll likely do a draft not long after Mania aswell so they would probably reunite them there.

I hope not. They just did a two-month transfer window. No need for further moves and also I vastly prefer just doing the window thing again next year over a full draft.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Not what I would have predicted at all but honestly I think it's bold but the right thing.

At least while Penta is still this hot solo, if you can mirror that with Fenix on another show before ever teaming them, I cant think of a better scenario. Risk is just can Fenix mirror it

agreed - though I would say the biggest risk is Fenix injuring himself before they can tag. We will find out if he can tone it down lol

Penta doing his singles run. Hope they reunite but not just yet. Let them get more established as singles competors first.

curious as to why? WWE fans don't live under a rock

Build them up as separate entities focused on their goals and then when you when you can something with it during a joint show, acknowledge it.

If they want to mention it immediately though I don't have any strong opinions.

I feel like you can do that without pretending the other exists but wtv ig - I dislike the idea that the two shows should not aknowledge talent on the other , i think it adds to lore.

I dislike any wrestling company outright ignoring history in general, its a very Vince thing that I generally am opposed to.

My only concern is what Chris said and there'd be a ton of focus on what Penta is doing and why he's not over there with him, but I'm not staunchly opposed either way.

As far as history goes, you know no one loves a feud with history more than your boy, but WWE doesn't typically mention too much outside the bubble. WWE has gotten better with occasionally name dropping another place someone worked but they still don't typically work that into stories so at most they'll acknowledge their sibling status, but I doubt much more lore from before WWE is added.

Nowadays WWE acknowledges history. I mean they have a whole ass crossover deal with TNA

I actually watch TNA, but I can't recall a single piece of that history being used on WWE TV.

Prime example Drew McIntyre and LA Knight have history from tna when Drew brought Knight into TNA alongside Tonga Loa. Knight eventually turned on Drew and kicked off a heated rivalry on Impact. Unless I missed it SmacDown hasn't mentioned any of that history.

Oh well you’re being very specific. Haha. I’m just saying WWE will acknowledge other promotions now and talk about titles that superstars have won in other promotions. But as far as actual feuds, yeah not really.

But they still will probably mention Fenix and Penta were a team cause that’s very basic

That’s what we’re talking about. Acknowledging lore and history. Just saying so and so was once a TNA champion is the bare minimum, but WWE is still mostly an isolated universe that doesn’t care about stuff that happens elsewhere.

unless it's in the video game...but then again they don't use letters only that you came from a company that's mismanaged that you know Jade and Punk from..

English?

That was english mother fucker

But in wwe 2k25. MyRise you can choose to have your person be from another promotion. A wwe producer tells you basically stuff is different backstage here, and your person previously worked with Jade and CM Punk in the promotion you came from. So....AEW.
