N3on denies intentional unmasking of Penta during Fanatics Fest incident

Streamer N3on has addressed the backlash regarding an incident at Fanatics Fest where he accidentally livestreamed the luchador Penta without his mask. The unmasking was a significant breach of privacy, as the mask is a central part of Penta’s professional identity.

Speaking on the ‘Raw Talk’ podcast, N3on maintained that he had ‘no bad intention’ and blamed the incident on confusion with Fanatics Fest staff. He stated that Penta had been told he could remove his mask in a private area, and he was unaware the wrestler was unmasked when the face appeared on camera. N3on claimed he attempted to delete the footage immediately, but the moment had already been clipped and shared by viewers.

While N3on has previously apologized, the incident reportedly caused friction with WWE, with some company officials described as being ‘a little hot’ over the situation.
