Penta began wrestling in 2007 and since then has wrestled for AAA, Lucha Underground, MLW, AEW, and a wide range of indie promotions. He arrived in WWE in January 2025 and quickly made an impact when he defeated Chad Gable and delivered a passionate speech afterwards. His “Penta Walk” has caught on with fans and Superstars alike. In his first yr, he competed in two Royal Rumbles and a Money within the Bank ladder match. He won his first title in WWE when he defeated Dominik Mysterio to grow to be the Men’s Intercontinental Champion in March. He had slightly help from Danhausen, who cursed Mysterio before the match.
During an interview on WWE Now, Penta shared that after a yr in WWE, he feels “the true WWE style because I come from in all places; indies shows, other firms. But every part here could be very different.” He feels that WWE is the very best within the universe, so he “desires to be the very best luchador within the universe.” To be the very best, he tries to enhance his style and his English.” Penta goes on to say that he’s improving his body and his mind because “it’s my responsibility after one yr in WWE.” He knows lots of kids look as much as him and he “wants to provide my best version day by day.”
Next weekend, he’ll compete in his second WrestleMania where he’ll defend his Men’s Intercontinental Championship in a ladder match. With ladder matches being his specialty, he selected the stipulation and can defend his title against Je’Von Evans, RUSEV, Dragon Lee, JD McDonagh, and Rey Mysterio. They will likely be a part of the WrestleMania Night Two kickoff on ESPN.
