Penta pushed Roman Reigns to the limit in the most recent edition of WWE Raw, held in Mexico City. Unfortunately, he couldn't close the show with the coronation that an entire country was expecting. Nevertheless, the match was very well received by fans, both for its intensity and the unpredictability of the outcome in a weekend where WWE had surprised with unexpected title changes.
In the final moments of the episode, Penta addressed the camera promising that next time he wouldn't fail. It is unknown when he will have another opportunity for the world championship, although many in WWE hope that the Mexican wrestler will remain at the top of the card, as revealed in a recent report by WrestleVotes on Fightful Select.
"Following his match against Roman Reigns on Raw, a source informed WrestleVotes that several people within the company believe that Penta deserves the opportunity to stay at the top of the card, with the feeling that he has already established himself as a legitimate main event wrestler," the outlet wrote.
"The same source also noted that, at the moment, there is no rematch between Penta and Reigns planned. However, given the reception the match has had both in front of the audience and behind the scenes, the company considers it a match they can turn to at any time, and one source believes it could even headline a PPV in the future," the report concluded.
Since his arrival in WWE, Penta has become one of the fans' favorite wrestlers, establishing himself from the beginning in the mid-card. After a notable reign as Intercontinental Champion, the masked wrestler aimed for a bigger prize. Penta won the tournament of wrestlers created by Rey Mysterio to earn a historic opportunity in Mexico. It remains to be seen what plans the company has for him starting next Monday.
