Speaking on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, Penta revealed that he has been dealing with a torn bicep in his left arm for nearly four years. He initially suffered the injury sometime in 2022, but he didn’t get surgery.

“This injury was like maybe I don’t remember exactly four, five years ago or something like that. I don’t remember who gave me a kick. One kick in my chest, but basically, he broke the tendon from the shoulder to the base bicep. And bro, it’s so hard,” Penta said. [H/T ITR Wrestling]

Penta hadn’t lost a step despite the injury. He was cleared to wrestle by WWE upon his arrival last year. He has now set his sights on defending the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 42.

Penta also wants to win another WWE title

Despite winning his first title in WWE, Penta told the No-Contest Wrestling podcast that he is already looking forward to adding more gold to his name. Not only does he want to take on all challengers for the Intercontinental Championship, he would also like to reunite with Rey Fenix and win tag team titles.

The Lucha Bros were supposed to reunite at AAA’s Guerra de Titanes last December, but Penta suffered a shoulder injury. He was replaced by Rey Mysterio, with the two Reys beating Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano in a tag team match.

In addition to tag team gold with Fenix, Penta is also interested in becoming a world champion. He’s heading to the right direction because the Intercontinental Championship is a stepping stone for future main eventers.

It will be interesting to see if Penta holds on to the Intercontinental Championship past WrestleMania 42.
