WWE executives see World Championship potential in Penta following his standout main event performance in Mexico City against Roman Reigns.
According to a report from Lucha Libre Online, high-ranking officials backstage at Arena CDMX were thrilled with how the masked star carried himself against the company’s top champion. While management already recognized his in-ring caliber, watching him command an entire arena opposite Reigns proved to be a major eye-opener.
Internal Belief Grows For Future World Championship Run
The report indicates that WWE management now views the luchador as a major long-term financial asset, reinforcing internal discussions that he is destined to capture main-roster gold down the line:
- Backstage Reception: “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.”
- Long-Term Vision: “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.”
Record-Breaking Box Office Success At Arena CDMX
The glowing backstage reaction was further bolstered by historic gate numbers. Lucha Libre Online noted that the September 14 broadcast performed exceptionally well commercially, potentially setting a company record at the venue:
- Financial Impact: “The event was excellent in ticket sales, possibly a record amount of money generated for WWE at the CDMX Arena.”
During the match itself, Penta pushed Reigns to the absolute limit, scoring massive near-falls with the Penta Driver and a Destroyer while the Mexico City crowd rained heavy boos on the champion. Reigns ultimately secured the victory by intercepting a springboard attempt with a mid-air Superman Punch before delivering a Spear for the pinfall.
While Reigns left Mexico with the World Heavyweight Championship intact, Penta succeeded in proving his main-event viability to the key decision-makers backstage.
