Since then, the WWE Universe has been buzzing with the possibility of Penta locking horns with the OTC, especially since a luchador will challenge Roman. In this article, let’s take a look at three major reasons why the former AEW star should face the Bloodline leader in his upcoming title defense.

#3. Penta is ready for the main-event scene

Penta has already spent enough time in the mid-card division under the Triple H creative regime. As of now, the masked man has lived up to all the expectations as an in-ring performer.

He lost his IC title to Chad Gable at SummerSlam 2026, and now he is ready to enter the main-event scene. A match with Roman Reigns in front of the Mexico crowd would be a fitting opportunity for the company to kickstart Penta’s main-event push.

Though Penta would not become the new champion, facing Roman for the World Heavyweight Championship would still establish his status as a legitimate main-event star on the main roster.

#2. Roman Reigns vs. Penta will steal the show

Penta has already established himself as one of the best in-ring performers in recent times. He has delivered multiple banger matches and has made the crowd give him standing ovations.

There is no doubt that Roman is not merely a megastar but also a top-level in-ring performer. A match between these two has the potential to blow the roof off the arena and deliver one of the best RAW matches in recent months.

Considering this, WWE should make Penta face the Original Tribal Chief on RAW in Mexico.

#1. The WWE Universe is already demanding this match

After Rey Mysterio’s announcement, fans have already started discussing a potential match between Reigns and Penta. The WWE Universe and AAA fans largely want the masked man to be the Head of the Table’s opponent for this show.

Under the Triple H creative regime, the Chief Content Officer usually delivers what the audience wants. As a result, the company should make the former AEW star challenge the Head of the Table.
