Corey Graves believes that stars are aligning for Penta to pull off a heist for the ages on tonight’s WWE RAW in Mexico City.
Penta will challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in front of his loyalists at Arena CDMX in tonight’s main event.
Previewing the high-profile match on Fox News, WWE and AAA commentator Corey Graves said that if ever there was a day for a monumental upset, it’s tonight when Roman steps into the enemy’s territory against Penta. Graves feels that given the anticipation among Mexican fans, Roman may well face the toughest assignment of his decorated career tonight, and stars may align in Penta’s favor.
Here’s what Corey Graves said:
“Ordinarily, I wouldn’t even have to think about this; I would just instinctively say Roman Reigns. I think that if there is ever going to be a ‘shock the world’ upset, the pieces are in place for Monday night. You have Penta, who is the new face of Lucha Libre, or what people understand or relate to as Lucha Libre, as a WWE Superstar. Penta is going to have the entire nation of Mexico behind him. They are speaking of this like it’s a national battle.
“Like Mexico is challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship, and I don’t think, for as much success Roman has had through his career, he’s ever faced adversity quite like this, where it’s not just the guy standing across the ring from you; it’s 20,000 people around the arena; it’s a couple of million sitting at home, in the streets, whatever. The stars are in line that if something crazy was ever going to happen, this Monday night, it’s going to happen.”
The last few days have witnessed two world title changes on the main roster, with Sami Zayn dethroning CM Punk as Undisputed WWE Champion on SmackDown and Stephanie Vaquer capturing the Women’s World Championship from Liv Morgan at a live event in Chile. Will we see another title change hands tonight? Only time will tell.
