Penta opened Raw on Monday, October 12, in Bossier City, Louisiana, by unveiling his new custom Money in the Bank briefcase. The reveal came just two days after he won the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match in New Orleans.
The briefcase is red and black and bears his logo along with the words “Dinero en el Banco”. It is also equipped with six pyrotechnic devices, three on each side, that can shoot sparks while it is on display.
Penta had teased the new briefcase himself. During an interview with WWE Now on Sunday, he was asked whether he would be getting a custom case but chose to keep it a secret.
“This is a surprise. Step by step.”
The crowd gave Penta a big ovation on Raw, and he thanked the five opponents he faced in the ladder match. He also reflected on his 20-year career, saying he has had to fight for every opportunity he has earned.
Penta used the appearance to send a message to the world champions, making clear that he can cash in at any time. In his WWE Now interview on Sunday, however, he had said he did not plan to use the contract anytime soon.
The two potential cash-in targets are World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn.
