Penta earned his spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match for the first time by defeating Dragon Lee and Chad Gable on “WWE Raw” this past Monday. He will be competing alongside Solo Sikoa and LA Knight at the premium live event scheduled for June 7th. At the start of the match, Penta and Lee briefly teamed up with Gable, but their alliance was short-lived.
Gable found himself in a dangerous position when Penta quickly took him down. After rolling out of the ring, Gable was targeted again once the broadcast returned from a break. He was attacked at the announcer’s table by Penta, but Lee intervened by flying out of the ring to rescue Gable, though Gable managed to escape and Lee collided with Penta instead.
AAA star Vikingo, who had been at ringside after suffering a crash earlier in the weekend, returned to the match and helped by putting Penta back into the ring where they exchanged chops. Lee executed a powerbomb on Gable, but it wasn’t enough to finish him off. Penta then delivered a slam to Lee followed by his finishing move, the Penta Driver, on Gable to secure the win.
Fan Take: Penta’s qualification adds fresh excitement and high-flying talent to the Money in the Bank match, promising a dynamic showdown. This moment marks a significant milestone in his WWE career and demonstrates the growing influence of international stars in shaping the future of the sport.
