The superstar in question obliged by picking up a massive win on RAW against the odds.<\/p>\n<p>That superstar is none other than Penta, fka Pentagon Jr. As you probably know, he was in a recent pursuit of the Intercontinental Championship, which made him cross paths with The Judgment Day&#8217;s Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio. However, post-WrestleMania, he has still had to deal with The Judgment Day.<\/p>\n<p>During his match against JD McDonagh on RAW, Michael Cole confidently predicted that the 40-year-old Penta would be a World Champion in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">WWE<\/a> at some point.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline top\" data-tab=\"top\">\n<p>Top WWE star punished?

As you probably know, &#8220;El Grande Americano&#8221; (Gable) defeated Penta&#8217;s brother Rey Fenix at WrestleMania 41, and he now looks to be targeting his next luchador.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, Penta would pick up a massive win on RAW against JD McDonagh.
