"It's a breakpoint"- WWE star reveals meaning behind facing Roman Reigns in a major title match

Roman Reigns is the measuring stick for all the rising WWE stars today. However, one of those names squared off with the OTC recently and walked away with a different wave of momentum.

He is none other than Penta, who battled Reigns in a major match for the World Heavyweight Championship on RAW in his hometown of Mexico City. He has been on a spectacular rise ever since and recently reflected on that historic night.

Penta said the match with Roman Reigns is different than a regular match In a recent appearance on the Busted Open Radio, Penta was asked about his title match against Roman Reigns in Mexico City. The masked luchador said that it has become his favorite match of his life as he understood what it meant to battle a marquee name like Reigns.

Moreover, he heaped massive praise for the Tribal Chief and said that it was a pleasure to work with him. Penta said, "Somebody asked me last week or something like that, 'Oh, you and Roman, was that your favorite match of your life?

And my present, 'Yes, because after this, it's a breakpoint for my career, you know? Because now I understand what is the different style with the big dog.

Roman, I have my respect totally. It's my pleasure work with you, because I understand now what is the difference... and when you are a regular match or when you face to Roman Reigns"Penta won the Money in the Bank 2026 ladder match Since that night, Penta became a force to be reckoned with in WWE and began gaining major momentum.

This led him to qualify for and compete in the 2026 Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match alongside top and rising WWE stars. In the closing moments of the bout, Bron Breakker pushed Je’Von Evans off the ladder, and he crashed through the top of an ambulance.

He then tried to climb the ladder, but was stopped by Penta. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion found the opening and delivered a Mexican Destroyer from the ladder to Breakker.

With his path clear, Penta climbed to the top of the ladder and grabbed the MITB briefcase. With Penta having a guaranteed World title match, it remains to be seen when he will cash it in.
