N3on knows exactly why some WWE fans don’t like him. Months after accidentally livestreaming Penta without his mask at Fanatics Fest, the streamer says fans still believe he did it on purpose—and he’s once again insisting that isn’t what happened.
Speaking on the Raw Talk podcast, N3on was discussing his growing involvement with WWE when the intensity of the company’s fanbase came up. He immediately acknowledged that he hasn’t exactly won everyone over.
“Yeah. And they’re f*****—they think they hate me.”
Asked whether WWE fans really hate him, N3on pointed straight back to the Fanatics incident.
“Yeah. Because there was a situation where, like, we—I was at Fanatics and, like, someone’s face came on the camera that wasn’t supposed to be there.”
That “someone” was Penta, whose unmasked face briefly appeared on N3on’s livestream after the luchador had been told he could remove his mask in the restricted area. N3on says he never deliberately put Penta on camera and had no intention of exposing him.
“Yeah, exactly. And it wasn’t my fault and I had no bad intention. They told him he could take his mask off. So he—no one was in the wrong. Um, well, the people working there were in the wrong. Whatever.”
By the time N3on realized what had happened, there wasn’t much he could do about it. He says he tried to remove the footage immediately, but viewers had already grabbed the moment and started circulating it.
“But, um, the second I found out, I deleted the—like, whatever I could, but it was already clipped. So, yeah. Um, after that they don’t like me.”
The interviewer then asked whether the problem was that fans believed N3on had intentionally exposed Penta and he just said, “Yeah.”
N3on previously apologized over the incident, but WWE wasn’t happy when it happened. WrestleVotes said people within the company were “a little hot” over the situation, although N3on was still allowed backstage at Saturday Night’s Main Event afterwards.
Now N3on is sticking to the same basic explanation. Penta wasn’t supposed to appear unmasked on his stream, but N3on says he didn’t do it intentionally, tried to delete the footage once he realized what happened and believes the people working the event were ultimately responsible for allowing the situation to happen.
Do you think N3on is getting unfairly blamed for Penta appearing unmasked, or should he have been more careful while livestreaming backstage? Let us know in the comments.
