Former AEW World Tag Team Champion Penta has finally revealed what drove him to sign with WWE earlier this yearand it wasnt just about the money or titles. For Penta, it was about chasing specific moments that could only happen under WWEs banner.
The former Lucha Brother made his WWE debut in January, with his brother and longtime tag team partner Rey Fenix joining him on SmackDown just a few months later. But Penta made it clear during his appearance on In The Kliq that a single powerful moment convinced him WWE was the right move.
Reflecting on his Royal Rumble experience, where he and Rey Mysterio entered as the first two participants, Penta said:
That taste of a dream scenario left him hungry for moreespecially on the grandest stage of them all. Penta made it clear that WrestleMania 42 is where he wants to carve out his legacy.
But if Rey Mysterio isnt available, Penta has a backup target in mindhis son. Penta also spoke about possibly running it back with Dominik Mysterio, who retained the Intercontinental Championship against him at Backlash in May. A rematch on the WrestleMania stage could be exactly what Penta needs to solidify himself as a singles star.
Whether its a family showdown with Rey or revenge against Dominik, Penta clearly isnt in WWE to coasthe wants moments that matter.
