Monday Night Raw on May 12, 2025, featured one of the most explosive interviews of the year as Penta El Zero Miedo delivered a blistering tirade against Dominik Mysterio. In a segment that quickly went viral among the WWE Universe, Penta didn’t hold back, addressing weeks of growing tension and setting the stage for a potential blockbuster rivalry.
The interview took place backstage following Penta’s victorious tag team match alongside Rey Fénix. Speaking with WWE correspondent Cathy Kelley, Penta was visibly fired up, still wearing his mask and ring gear, sweat pouring from his brow. After the standard congratulations, Cathy shifted the conversation to the ongoing drama with Dominik Mysterio—a subject that immediately ignited Penta’s fury.
“Dominik es un niño mimado,” Penta began, blending English and Spanish with his trademark intensity. “He walks around with his father’s legacy like he earned it. But he didn’t! He’s not a real luchador. He’s a disgrace to the Mysterio name and to lucha libre.”
Penta accused Dominik of tarnishing the art of lucha libre by using underhanded tactics and relying on The Judgment Day faction to bail him out of tough situations. “Real luchadores fight with honor, with heart. Dominik hides behind Finn Bálor and Rhea Ripley like a scared little boy.”
The remarks came after Dominik interfered in Penta’s match last week, costing him a shot at a U.S. Title opportunity. That moment, according to Penta, was the final straw. “He thinks because he has some tattoos and wears a mask sometimes, that makes him tough? He’s never bled in the ring for this sport like I have. He’s never earned the people’s respect like I have. He’s nothing.”
Penta’s message was clear—he was issuing a challenge. Though he stopped short of confirming a match, his language strongly implied that he’s gunning for Dominik, perhaps even at an upcoming pay-per-view. “You want to be taken seriously, Dominik? Step in the ring with me. No Judgment Day. No help. Just you and me. Let’s see if you can survive Zero Miedo.”
What made the interview so powerful wasn’t just the words, but Penta’s delivery. He was animated, intense, and unwavering, pounding his fist against his chest and flashing his iconic “Cero Miedo” hand sign throughout the segment. Fans in the arena could be heard chanting along from the monitors, echoing his passion.
Backstage reports indicate that WWE officials were impressed with Penta’s promo, calling it one of the most “real” and “electrifying” moments of the night. Social media exploded with praise, with hashtags like #CeroMiedo and #DominikExposed trending within minutes.
As for Dominik Mysterio, he has yet to respond publicly. However, WWE cameras caught him leaving the arena earlier than usual, avoiding any confrontation. With tension mounting and stakes rising, it seems only a matter of time before these two finally clash in the ring. When they do, it promises to be a brutal, emotional encounter—one born from pride, heritage, and a deep desire for respect.
