On the latest episode of WWE RAW, Rey Mysterio WWE RAW became the center of a dramatic showdown as he faced off against Austin Theory, only to be rescued by the surprising return of Penta. This event took place during the year’s final WWE RAW, adding another twist to the escalating conflicts involving The Vision, Logan Paul, and Rey Mysterio.
The Vision’s Growing Influence and Mysterio’s Struggles
Recent weeks have seen WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio in an ongoing feud with Logan Paul and his faction, The Vision. The tension escalated when Logan Paul attacked Mysterio before a match, but Mysterio managed to fight back with unforeseen assistance from a masked individual. Austin Theory was later revealed to be the masked man, cementing his alliance with The Vision and earning official recognition from Paul Heyman.
With Theory now a part of The Vision, he participated in recent tag team matches, including a win over Mysterio and CM Punk, where he scored the pin by delivering a Stomp to Mysterio. These matches further established Theory as a formidable adversary, leading to a highly anticipated singles match between him and Mysterio on WWE RAW.
Penta’s Dramatic Comeback Changes the Game
During the match on the final RAW of 2025, Austin Theory maintained control for much of the contest against Rey Mysterio. As Mysterio appeared poised for victory, Logan Paul intervened, joining Theory in an assault on Mysterio. Suddenly, Penta, also known as El Zero, made a stunning return to the ring after a recent injury suffered during the Last Time is Now tournament.

Penta’s timely reappearance shifted the momentum, allowing him and Rey Mysterio to drive off both Theory and Logan Paul. This not only leveled the playing field but also electrified the crowd, marking Penta’s first appearance since taking time off due to injury last month. The support of Penta further intensified the rivalry between the two groups as the year came to a close.
What This Return Means for RAW and the WWE
Penta’s intervention on the final WWE RAW of the year signals more turbulence ahead for The Vision. With Rey Mysterio now aided by a rejuvenated Penta, storylines heading into the new year are primed for further conflict and possible shifts in the balance of power within the WWE roster. The return also reintroduces El Zero as a major contender following his recovery from tournament injuries, reigniting anticipation among fans for upcoming events and matches on WWE RAW.
