Penta may have Lost to Roman Reigns on WWE Raw last monthbut he still left feeling like a winner.
during an interview with “Lost Open Radio” the high-flying luchador raved about his time sharing the ring with The Chieftain in his native Mexico City. “I learned a lot from facing Roman Reigns because, honestly, now I know why he’s the best wrestler or one of the best wrestlers in the universe. The character, the Shakespeare, every movement, you can breathe, you can enjoy every step,” Penta said.
“It’s a different chip, but I like it, that chip. I like that style. I love this moment in the ring when it’s a big swamp, basically. He looks at me. I look at him. The whole crowd is with me, thank God. Everything was so special and magical, bro, because I can’t imagine a moment like this in Mexico. When? How do I feel, my brother, I am all with God, but now I feel, with my brother. with the fans, with all the people who believe in me.”
On September 14, the Penta-Reigns match was held as part of the main event of “Raw” in Mexico City, where the latter held the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
