It's a good thing that the wrestlers have the ability to try out different promotions. Fans who only watch one promotion are now able to get to know many different wrestlers with many different wrestlers styles.
I'm not sure I'd say Dijak is a good promo. He's decent. But he never really had a standout character if I'm being honest. Being good in the ring isn't enough in WWE. Hell, the most captivating parts of the show recently weren't in the ring and that's just true of wrestling in general. Character is King. Considering all the younger talent they have coming up, I'm not surprised they didn't want to keep him. Right now he'd be taking up the midcard spots for younger performers they see as pontential main eventers in a few years.
His best gimmick was being Keith Lee’s best opponent. That’s shows you the issue. He never felt like he added any of himself to any gimmick. I don’t mean that is if I know him I mean it as he always came off as the exact character they gave him on a piece of paper
Seeing Pentagon Jr in Lucha Underground is what got me back into wrestling. Both the Lucha Bros are my favorites. But AEW hasn't done much in terms of crazy stories like Lucha Underground did. Wonder what stories WWE would do with him.
@@alexandergunaka666you are braindead if you think some nobody can replace Rey Mysterio Pinhead marks like you dont get it, but culturally, historically, monetarily and popularity wise there never will be another like him Americans have such disdain for history and culture that you think you just can just put a mask On some mexican and pooof!

Penta in WWE is exciting, but scary. I understand the sentiment that he's already gone as far as he'll likely be able to in AEW, so why not move on? I can respect that. But I'd have to think he'd have an even lower ceiling in WWE than what he's had in AEW. Like what would they even have him do? Stand quietly in the background for Rey Mysterio's backstage segments? Stand quietly in the background for Santos Escobar's backstage segments? Maybe if he's really lucky, stand quietly in the background for Damien Priest's backstage segments?
Considering he's never been even a midcarder on the mid roster, yes it is. You can't take someone with no history in the main event and no significant charisma and make them a star worth investing in when you've got a glut of much younger talent that has it.
@@kyletucker3811I honestly don’t know why people love knight so much lol he’s cool but people act like he HAS to be champ rn. I don’t mind it but it’s not to die for.
For being 39, Pentagon seems to do well at avoiding injury. Even Rey has been injured several times while Pentagon soldiered on. Dude really has the best ring gear in the business.
Every wrestler regardless of company needs to learn to enter free agency regardless of wether you want to stay or not. It gives you negotiating power and will always raise your price. I don’t think penta will leave, but he’s being smart by playing the field.
He might be a bit old to get featured in a meaningful spot outside a faction but Penta is sick and would be served well to do the more slow and safe wwe style. See Nakamura
Pentagon Should go WWE and Fenix should follow in a few years. Will be curious to see who makes the Package Pildriver their own on the indies when the main two guys associated with it are in a company that bans piledrivers
What is this contract tampering? WWE (or anyone) doesn't have to follow other companies' contracts. People can talk to whoever they want. Only the guy who signed the contract is at fault. So, how is it tampering if it's his contract? Isn't it just contract breaking at that point? Contract tampering happens in pro sports because the teams are part of the same league that has rules against it, which all involved have agreed to.
Disagree completely. I don't think anything about penta screams wwe. And I don't mean that we a negative. His style and presentation much better suit aew and tna. Nxt gold and black would have suited him massively well.
Too old to back to NXT as a reclaimation project... You already did that once and he was absolutely crushing it. You then called him up and did dick all with him. The HHH regime may be better, but it's clearly not perfect. Makes no sense he wasn't even given a shot after the call up.
Being the age it's a now or never scenario it's not that he's not happy in aew he's had a good five years but like every wrestler you need to make the most out of your career with no regrets and no what ifs
why is paul in so much stuff that is not about the US title? it means nothing now. that title is a joke. that reign did nothing for anyone but paul. can't get it on LA Knight soon enough
Matches aren't everything, especially in WWE. They value character work far more highly. How often did he have the best promo or segment of the night? Because that's what they value more. There are plenty of people that can have good matches, which get enhanced by storyline. Just think of it this way, how many people that have great matches and seemed to have potential have left and not really done anything? Nick Nemeth, Miro, Malakai Black, you get the point.
@@kyletucker3811 in order to have the best segment, you have to HAVE a segment. They drafted him to the main roster, then didn't even put him on tv or in a vignette.
Only thing with Penta is his English. WWE is promo land and he doesn’t exactly speak much. Maybe they do a subtitle thing they have done in the HHH era but i see him as an AEW guy with his brother until he’s done in the states.
"what if Penta goes to NXT" you don't send an all-star to the minor leagues, bros. doesn't matter how much slobbering on NXT's knob this channel does, it's still a developmental brand and you do not send a well-traveled, won-championships-all-over-the-globe veteran like Penta to developmental. If Penta goes to WWE he's going to the main roster. Just don't throw him in one of the two factions where they stick all their Latinian talents. Let the man thrive.
He's too old and not good enough at character work to be worth investing in. He's never even been a midcarder, so to build him up they'd need to put him in the midcard to take up spots that they have a glut of younger talent to fill. So yes he is too old based on the current roster to fit into what they want to do.
All promotions have their ups and downs when they are in their formative years. WWE is old enough to be AEW's grandfather. I started watching back when WWE was actually the WWWF. Why does anyone even listen to Meltzer?
@@donnahacker618 I also remember the WWWF and I first started watching in 1980 with an independent that was on a local TV station. I remember the feud between Kaufman and Lawler. I remember the Monday Night Wars. And yes, AEW is definitely in trouble. And the one thing neither of us have seen is a an extended WWE run in a post McMahon era.
@@easter_sunday I remember all of that too. Growing up we watched wrestling on Saturdays. Bruno Sammartino was the guy back then. As an senior, I enjoy watching quite a few promotions.
WWE has not really done that great a job with the AEW talent. Cody was already established and Jade had a great buzz around her. Penta would end up like Andrade in WWE unfortunately.

I have this bad feeling that Penta would just be relegated to a member of the LWO
Exactly
Because he's getting so much focus now.
Hopefully he would come and take it over and have it as a more serious group
@@brooklynarchitect210 I definitely don't think AEW is doing him any favors, but I just fear it would be more of the same in WWE
I get your point but maybe the opportunity to work with Rey Mysterio is appealing to him 🤷♂️

I think thats what theyre doing with dragon lee, penta being 39 is probably being more prone to accidents

Penta would just get put in the LWO and get forgotten about lol
So no change from his aew run?
He gotta join the Judgement Day 1st 😂
I don't care where Penta goes, I just want him to be a singles guy and possibly a champion. I'd even watch NWA to see that.
I like seeing wrestlers having the ability to move between companies. This is a good thing.
It's a great thing.
PLEASE bring back the Thrill Switch theme if he goes over. It's so simple but so good.
Penta when he debuts on SPEED then becomes an LWO member
37 and ancient, compared to hot young whippersnappers like 41 year-old LA Knight

If Penta ever got a singles push in AEW it would for the International title and in WWE hes ceiling would be the IC title...
The same for ricochet. Shame AEW didn’t have Pentagon dark at the start in the world title picture that would have been great
For being 39, Pentagon seems to do well at avoiding injury. Even Rey has been injured several times while Pentagon soldiered on. Dude really has the best ring gear in the business.
Fraser's Tony Kahn cosplay is on point.
I’m sure they ALL are “considering”
I bet Heyman says some nice words to Kayla and ends it with…
Take me with U PLEASE
Killer Daniel Johnston shirt, Adam!
Somethings last a long time!
Also not sure Penta really fits in WWE. That's probably just a play to get more money out of Tony.
I love Penta would love to see how he would be used in WWE
AEW would pay Penta more, but WWE would grow his brand far more than any company could. A good run in WWE would lead to lifetime income for him
Every wrestler regardless of company needs to learn to enter free agency regardless of wether you want to stay or not. It gives you negotiating power and will always raise your price. I don’t think penta will leave, but he’s being smart by playing the field.

I really don't want Penta to leave without feuding with Fenix
I think Penta would be an awesome addition to the NJPW roster
He deserves it. He is so good from LU to Impact/TNA to AEW. Good for him
Finally, a new Latino to join the single Latino storyline! All jokes aside, I’d love to see Penta join WWE
Pentagon Should go WWE and Fenix should follow in a few years.
Will be curious to see who makes the Package Pildriver their own on the indies when the main two guys associated with it are in a company that bans piledrivers
MSG can hold 20k+ for wrestling depending on the configuration but I don't think WWE has maxed that in a long time.
Probably mania 20 the last time
Can't see Dijack showing at FD, turnaround is too short IMHO
I'd like to see Penta pushed as a singles star, like I think he could do great as a world champion. But you gotta commit.
All unhappy wrestlers are considering Moves to other companies. This doesn't mean that one company is better than another. Tribalism is useless.
Has crossed anyone's mind that there could be other reasons why he isn't being resigned
What is this contract tampering? WWE (or anyone) doesn't have to follow other companies' contracts. People can talk to whoever they want. Only the guy who signed the contract is at fault. So, how is it tampering if it's his contract? Isn't it just contract breaking at that point?

Hopefully penta is happy whatever he does. One of the greats
So is penta going to the LWO or la gado?
A non renegotiated contract doesn’t mean a release!
Yeah, but saying it's an expired contract doesn't create drama or clicks.
Penta in WWE would be great
Why are ppl sleeping on TNA?
Penta would be great in NXT, then go to the main roster and be in a faction with other Spanish wrestlers, then be the WWE speed champion. WOOO HOOOO 😃
Better than be a jobber in secondary company
Then just keep him in NXT?
Disagree completely. I don't think anything about penta screams wwe. And I don't mean that we a negative. His style and presentation much better suit aew and tna. Nxt gold and black would have suited him massively well.
Naomi or Chelsea deserve the MITB most!💯
We can have Dijak vs Lee again lfg!
I know WWE can't use foreigners correctly but... Penta is just different
If WWE gets Penta i hope Triple H give him a IC Title reign
WWE NXT 2024 Pentagón Jr. WWE RAW 2024 WWE Smackdown 2024
I don’t get why everyone is saying Dijak might show up on forbidden door…. Is no compete clause not a thing now?
Dijak wasn’t released, his contract ran out so he is free to do whatever right now if he wanted to

I joke, but they have been kind of sticking the Latino's all together in two teams.
Penta vs Ilja?
They sign Dijak at age 30. 7 years of BS later, now his age is working against him. Sounds like WWE is working against him.
37....Old huh....
Penta to lwo confirmed
I like Dijak but he really is a bland big guy! Doesn’t have the same presence of a say Oba Femi! Just my opinion.
Ehhh wake me up when MJF makes the jump
Dijak is awesome. Regularly had the best match of the night on nxt tv and PLEs. Wwe dropped the ball with him.
