Gable and Penta were evenly matched early on, but Penta ended up gaining the upper hand as the match went on. Chad Gable tried to neutralize his opponent and keep him grounded by continuously attacking Penta’s knee.

Penta made a comeback when he threw Gable to the outside the dove over the top rope to take him out. Back in the ring Penta hit Gable with a Backstabber for a two count. Penta charged at Gable and connected with a Mexican Destroyer. Gable kicked out at two as the fans chanted “this is awesome!”

Chad Gable continued to focus on Penta’s leg then applied the ankle lock. Penta got out then countered with The Sacrifice. As Gable was writing in pain Penta hit the Penta Driver to pick up the win.

After the match the fans cheered as Penta celebrated then Jackie Redmond welcomed him to Monday Night Raw. She asked him what the moment means to him. Penta thanked San Jose and called WWE his new home. He told the fans that he knows they waited for this moment then said the real truth is he’s been waiting for this moment. Penta finished up by saying it’s not only the Netflix new era for WWE, it’s also the Penta era.
