Penta’s Money in the Bank briefcase has turned into one of WWE Shop’s most in-demand pieces of merchandise following his win, with replica versions of the customized case reportedly backordered well into 2027. According to F4W Online, Bryan Alvarez relayed to subscribers on X that the Penta-branded briefcase replica is currently backordered through February 2027, underscoring the surge in demand since Penta secured the contract.
The briefcase itself grants Penta a guaranteed opportunity to cash in for a world championship match at a time of his choosing, a tradition central to the Money in the Bank concept since its introduction. With the win now official, attention has shifted to how WWE and Penta will use that opportunity, and against which champion.
Sami Zayn or Roman Reigns?
As it stands, Penta has two realistic championship targets tied to his Money in the Bank briefcase: Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn or WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns. F4W Online’s Big Vinny V raised the question directly in an opinion piece published shortly after the merchandise update, framing the cash-in decision as the natural next storyline beat following Penta’s win. The piece notes that Penta has already faced one of the two champions, though the supplied material does not specify which man or detail the outcome of that prior encounter.
No timeline has been confirmed for when Penta might cash in, and WWE has not announced a specific plan publicly through these reports. Money in the Bank cash-ins are traditionally unscripted in-universe, giving the holder leverage to strike at a champion’s most vulnerable moment, which keeps both the Zayn and Reigns championship pictures under a layer of unpredictability for as long as Penta holds the contract.
The commercial reaction to Penta’s win adds a notable real-world dimension to the story. A backorder extending into February 2027 reflects significant consumer interest in Penta as a character and in the Money in the Bank angle itself, suggesting WWE may lean into an extended build around the briefcase rather than a quick cash-in. Whether that translates into a title match against Zayn’s Undisputed WWE Championship or Reigns’ WWE World Heavyweight Championship remains one of the promotion’s more closely watched open questions.
