WWE will have its second episode of RAW on Netflix on January 13, and the creative team has already planned a lot of things for the upcoming show. Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley will show up, while Finn Balor and Damian Priest will collide in a Street Fight.
Besides the abovementioned appearances, the second RAW on Netflix will reportedly see the debut of a former AEW champion, who recently signed with WWE. The name in question is Penta, who is expected to be Chad Gable’s mystery opponent on Monday.
RAW general manager Adam Pearce scheduled the match last week after Gable asked for a bout against a top luchador. At the same time, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H hinted at Penta’s arrival on RAW Post Show.

A match against Chad Gable means that Penta will likely kick off his WWE stint as a face. The former AEW World Tag Team Champion is expected to be a key part of the roster in the Netflix era.
Penta is coming off a five-year stint with AEW, which ended several weeks ago when he became a free agent. Reports later suggested that the global juggernaut approached him, and the two sides agreed to a deal.
WWE star Chad Gable mocks his mystery opponent on social media
Chad Gable is confident that he will beat his mystery opponent on this week’s RAW. The American Made leader recently took to social media and mocked the star.
Gable used the company’s graphic and added a clown emoji to the face of his mystery opponent. The former Tag Team Champion made it clear that he was not afraid of his opponent for Monday’s show.
American Made will likely attempt to distract Penta and help its leader win. If that happens, fans can expect Rey Mysterio and LWO to help their fellow luchador.
As for Chad Gable, given that he has been stuck in the mid-card scene for months now, a feud with Penta can help him gain much-needed momentum.
