PENTA’s identity was inadvertently revealed during a recent livestream event.
Viral footage shows a WWE official confronting 21-year-old content creator N3on after a livestream inadvertently captured the masked wrestler without his mask. According to the official, N3on had previously been instructed not to share the footage; however, WWE determined that the clip had successfully circulated online. This leak occurred because the footage was broadcast live, allowing viewers to capture screenshots and distribute them independently.
As a result of the incident, N3on was informed that he is no longer permitted at the WWE booth for the second day of Fanatics Fest.
During the confrontation, N3on maintained that he did not personally upload the clip. The WWE representative, however, stood by the decision, noting that the footage was already visible and that the ban would remain in effect.
The incident occurred during the opening day of Fanatics Fest while N3on was livestreaming from within the WWE booth. His camera briefly caught Intercontinental Champion PENTA walking past without his signature mask. Although PENTA was still wearing face paint, his face and recognizable voice were clearly visible to the live audience.
PENTA had requested that the streamer refrain from posting the footage, an agreement N3on accepted. However, due to the live nature of the broadcast, viewers had already seen the clip before the request could be fulfilled. Furthermore, N3on failed to notify WWE officials that he was livestreaming, leaving the company unaware that the footage was being broadcast in real-time. Despite N3on’s denial of posting the video, WWE concluded that the content had indeed spread online.
In the tradition of lucha libre, protecting a wrestler’s identity is a deeply held value. Unless a performer chooses to reveal themselves as part of a storyline or personal decision, exposing a masked wrestler’s face without consent is considered a significant sign of disrespect.
Interestingly, N3on appeared during a subsequent Saturday Night’s Main Event broadcast, suggesting that the tension between the parties may have been resolved. It is likely that WWE sought to settle the matter to avoid further negative publicity.
