Penta Suffers Injury on WWE Raw, Forced to Forfeit John Cena Tournament Match
Penta’s run in the John Cena “Last Time Is Now” tournament came to an abrupt end on WWE Raw after suffering a significant shoulder injury during his quarterfinal match against Solo Sikoa. The injury forced officials to stop the match, awarding Sikoa a victory by forfeit and advancing him to the semifinals.
The injury occurred when Penta executed a head scissors takedown off the ringside barrier onto Sikoa. Immediately after the move, it was apparent something was wrong as Penta remained down on the outside. Medical staff quickly attended to him at ringside while officials assessed the situation.
After evaluation, the decision was made that Penta could not continue. The match was called off, with the referee confirming that Sikoa would advance to the next round due to Penta’s inability to compete.
Solo Sikoa now moves on to the semifinals of the tournament, which will ultimately determine John Cena’s final opponent during his farewell run. The tournament continues without one of its most dynamic competitors, as Penta’s WWE future remains uncertain pending further medical evaluation.
WWE has not yet released an official update on Penta’s condition or a timeline for his return. The incident has generated significant concern among fans and fellow wrestlers, with video of the injury circulating widely across social media platforms.
