Following a series of unexpected title changes in WWE—such as Stephanie Vaquer capturing the Women’s World Championship at a house show in Chile and Sami Zayn winning the Undisputed WWE title on “WWE SmackDown”—fans are speculating about potential surprises ahead. On the upcoming “WWE Raw” episode from Mexico City, Penta is scheduled to challenge Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship. WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared on “Busted Open Radio” that he views this match as essential viewing.
“I’m genuinely interested in the match, but I’m also extremely curious to see if WWE will actually ‘pull the trigger’,” Bully Ray stated, referring to the possibility of Penta winning the title. “They did it with Sami, El Grande Americano, and Stephanie—it all worked out perfectly.”
As an original from ECW, Bully Ray recalled how Paul Heyman praised Penta’s talent and the enthusiastic reactions he consistently receives from audiences during season two of “WWE Unreal.” He highlighted Heyman’s early recognition of lucha libre stars like Rey Mysterio, Psicosis, and Juventud Guerrera in ECW, underscoring Heyman’s keen sense of fan engagement.
“When Paul talks about Penta and pays such close attention to the crowd’s response, you know he’s onto something,” Bully Ray explained. “Heyman was smart to notice the crowd’s excitement for the original luchadors like Rey, Psicosis, and Juvi. I’m fully on board with this. I’d love to see them follow through—it wouldn’t create one negative reaction in my eyes. Possibly, all these surprises over the weekend were building anticipation for tonight.”
