Penta is not treating his shot at Roman Reigns’ WWE World Heavyweight Championship as a closed chapter. Reigns defended the title against Penta in the main event of the September 14, 2026 edition of Monday Night Raw in Mexico City, Mexico, and retained after a hard-fought match, according to Fightful.
Reflecting on the bout during an appearance on SA Live, Penta had high praise for the champion, calling Roman Reigns the “best wrestler in the world,” per Fightful.
The story did not end there. On the September 21, 2026 episode of Raw from the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, Penta opened the show by addressing his loss to Reigns, and according to WrestleZone, he made his intentions clear that he wants another opportunity at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. WrestleZone also noted that WWE may have dropped further hints pointing toward a bigger push for Penta, though specifics of any future plans were not detailed in the available reporting.
That same night’s Raw featured Money in the Bank qualifying matches, per WrestleView’s live results coverage, placing Penta’s comments within a broader show also focused on building toward that ladder match.
No future match between Penta and Reigns has been confirmed, and it remains to be seen whether WWE will grant Penta a rematch for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. For now, Penta’s public comments on both SA Live and Raw make clear that he sees his run at the title as unfinished business rather than a one-off opportunity.
