Internal Reaction To PENTA’s Performance On WWE RAW

PENTA may have come up short against Roman Reigns in Mexico City, but WWE officials reportedly left the arena with a much bigger takeaway. His performance against one of the company’s biggest stars appears to have strengthened the belief internally that Penta could eventually become a World Champion.

According to a report from Lucha Libre Online, WWE executives backstage at the September 14 episode of RAW were extremely pleased with what they saw from Penta. While his in-ring ability was already well established, the report noted that seeing him share the ring with Reigns in front of a passionate Mexico City crowd provided a different perspective. The report states,

“All the executives who are backstage at RAW from CDMX are extremely happy with PENTA’s performance. They were all clear that he’s an excellent wrestler, but something very different was seeing him dancing in the same ring with Roman Reigns with an entire arena on his side.”

“WWE today has just realized they have a long-term money maker in PENTA, and today’s match reinforces the internal thinking that at some point, Penta will indeed be World Champion on WWE’s main roster. Today, it was made clear to the people he had to impress.”

“The event was excellent in ticket sales, possibly a record amount of money generated for WWE at the CDMX Arena.”
