WWE Intercontinental Champion Penta has made a bold statement about his future, promising his fans that he will become a world champion.
Penta has found a lot of success in WWE since his debut in January 2025, with the Mexican star winning the Intercontinental Championship in March.
Speaking with Denise Salcedo, Penta vowed to win one of WWE’s top prizes.
Sharing a message for his fans, Penta said:
“I want to say thank you to all my fans around the world. You guys are my gasoline every night because Penta is for the people. Penta is for all the fans who support me.
“Now I’ve had 20 years around this business, so I’m very thankful for you guys. Thank you so much.
“I promise you, one time, I don’t know when, I don’t know how, but I promise, Penta will become the champion, but not just any champion, the world champion.”

WWE currently has two active world championships, the Undisputed WWE Championship held by Cody Rhodes, and Roman Reigns’ World Heavyweight Championship.
Penta is now back to square one regarding earning a shot at either world title, after losing his King of the Ring tournament first round four-way on the June 1 Raw episode.
Oba Femi won this bout, moving him one step closer to potentially being crowned King of the Ring and earning a title shot for SummerSlam.
After holding the top title in a number of companies including TNA Wrestling and Lucha Underground, Penta has proven that he has what it takes to be a main eventer in the singles division.
It would be fulfilling to see new names such as Penta in the main event scene, giving the company the opportunity to create new headliners.
