Penta On Winning the Intercontinental Championship: The Gold Is Now in Mexico, I Represent the Dreamers
Penta is finally a champion in the WWE.
On this past week’s episode of WWE Raw on Netflix, the main event consisted of Dominik Mysterio looking to snake his way through another Intercontinental Championship match against Penta, but that did not go according to plan when moments before the match, Dirty Dom was cursed by Danhausen.
This would result in Mysterio not having the help he wanted from his Judgement Day brothers, and thus losing the WWE Intercontinental Championship to Penta, who would comment on his new reign and the injuries he still suffers from on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast.
“Man, the first thing was crazy. But at the same time, I feel like the emotion fixes it because it’s so very special for me but, the most important thing, I want to say thank you. Thank you to my family, thank you to my friends, thank you to my company and thank you to everyone who believed in me because this is very important, and thank you to myself, because I believe in me every single day to achieve this title. It’s like 20 years, the hard work, 20 years of the sacrifice. But, now, this title represent all these people who never give up because Penta represent all those people. Penta represent the dreamers, Penta represent the fighters so they’re real life, you know? So, that’s why I feel so glad because finally, these all people who believe in me, it’s like, finally, Penta growing up and Penta finally achieve the title. I think this is the most important thing because this title is not just for Penta. It’s for all those people.”
“This injury was like, maybe, I don’t remember exactly. Four, five years ago? Something like that. I don’t remember who gave me a kick. One kick in my chest but, basically, he broke my tendon, from the shoulder to the bicep, and bro, it’s so hard… and this is the shoulder for the last injury. You remember that? A couple months ago.” Penta was asked how his shoulder is feeling, and he replied, “Now, no matter. I’m f*cking glad. Because the gold is on my shoulder brother. The gold is in Mexico right now. No matter what happen with my body, I don’t care. This is the most important.”
Despite being injured for the last five years and reaggravating it a couple of months ago, Penta is determined to prove that he belongs as champion and will prove everyone wrong as he starts his reign.
