Penta Talks About his Upcoming Match with Rey Mysterio, Hopes to Elevate the Intercontinental Championship

Penta is getting ready for a big match today on WWE Raw. He’s scheduled to defend his Intercontinental Championship against Rey Mysterio, which is a huge deal for him since he grew up watching Rey & other luchadores. Wrestlers still get excited to wrestle Rey, and he still delivers in the ring.

Penta spoke with Denise Salcedo earlier today about his upcoming match with Rey Mysterio and his hopes to elevate the Intercontinental Championship with great matches.

On Wrestling Rey Mysterio:

“Yeah. You know this is my dream match because it’s Rey Mysterio. It’s the legend, the greatest (of all time), you know, it’s my role model. So I don’t know. It’s too much for explaining in words, my heart is very special this night.”

On his best opponents as Intercontinental Champion & Elevating the Championship:

“Last week against uh Je’Von Evans was (an) amazing match. I think every single match about uh my intercontinental champion was special because the different rebels do uh Grande Americano, Evans, Miro, but now with, again, Rey Mysterio it’s different, it’s very special because you know he is Mexican, I’m Mexican so he’s my role model I mentioned before… My goal is (for) this title (to be) put in the top level in the world with amazing matches every single week. I want to give my best.”
