Roman Reigns Defends World Heavyweight Title Against Penta Before 20,000 in Mexico City

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 14

Summary

  • Monday Night Raw in Mexico City will feature Roman Reigns defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Penta, a challenger WWE sees as a credible upset threat.
  • Corey Graves said the matchup is unusually dangerous for Reigns because Penta’s high-flying style breaks the slower pace the champion typically controls.
  • Arena CDMX’s 20,000 fans are expected to back Penta as a national cause, with Graves saying Reigns will face pressure far beyond the opponent across the ring.
  • Reigns has held the title since beating CM Punk at WrestleMania 42, and a loss to Penta would abruptly end his run and likely destabilize The Bloodline.
