WrestleMania 42 is only a month away, but much of the card is still up in the air. The Intercontinental Title scene was recently shaken up with a massive championship change. Penta defeated Dominik Mysterio to win his first singles belt in WWE.
Cero Miedo has promised to be a fighting champion, and his reign has gotten off to a hot start. Penta retained the Intercontinental Championship against El Grande Americano on RAW this past week. However, his direction for Mania remains unclear. The IC Title is WWE’s workhorse championship, and is too precious to be left off the most important event of the year
On that note, let’s look at 3 opponents for Penta at WrestleMania 42.
#3. Rey Mysterio vs. Penta is a Dream Match
Rey Mysterio has established himself as one of the greatest luchadors in professional wrestling. His resume speaks for itself, but Penta is not far behind. Cero Miedo wowed audiences all over the globe before finally setting foot in WWE in January 2025.
Penta vs. Rey Mysterio is a massive dream match for all fans who enjoy Lucha Libre. They squared off in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match, and the WWE Universe thoroughly enjoyed their encounter. This match doesn’t need a build; it will sell itself, and could begin with a simple challenge issued by Mysterio to Penta.
As for the eventual match, it would be a thrilling spot fest, which would put the spotlight on Lucha Libre. Nonetheless, Penta would get a huge rub by defeating an established legend like Rey Mysterio.
