Penta earned his title shot by beating Rey Fenix in a tournament final on August 31. Despite the loss, he came close to winning at several points, including after hitting a Springboard Mexican Destroyer.
To put Penta’s reach in perspective, Nick Khan previously revealed that his WWE debut generated nearly 100 million social media impressions. The WWE president also said the company saw a bump in Latino viewership whenever he appeared.
Reigns’ story has already moved on, though. After RAW went off the air, LA Knight showed up and hit the champion with a BFT. WWE later confirmed Reigns vs. Knight for the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank on October 10 in New Orleans.
