Last WWE Monday&#8217;s Raw saw El Grande Americano and the Americanos enter the battle in defense of Mysterio. It seemed like the three would interfere in their match at Saturday Night&#8217;s Main Event to help him retain his championship. However, no such interference took place.<\/p>\n<p>Mysterio and Rusev have moved on to other things. But Penta wasn&#8217;t so lucky. He went <a  href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KTMzjQBzQCM?si=fwWYXwcfOOExRz8g\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one\u00a0<\/a>one-on-one with El Grande on the November 3, 2025 episode of Monday Night Raw. Was he crafty enough to beat the energetic luchador, or were the three men&#8217;s teamwork too much for him to overcome?<\/p>\n<h2>Penta Beats El Grande Americano with Unexpected Help<\/h2>\n<p>Penta had every right to be mad at El Grande Americano. He and Rusev had an amazing number one contender&#8217;s match for the Intercontinental Championship. However, it was ruined by the three Americanos. Mysterio could&#8217;ve interfered himself, and that probably would&#8217;ve changed nothing. He didn&#8217;t do that, though, instead sending out his friends to do his work.<\/p>\n<p>If it wasn&#8217;t for them, there would&#8217;ve been an easier path to the Intercontinental Championship. El Grande, Bravo, and Rayo took away Penta&#8217;s chance at getting a one-on-one match with Mysterio. They made his championship journey harder. To set things right, he would have to beat El Grande Americano somehow.<\/p>\n<p>The match was pretty good, with both men showing their athletic movesets. Penta had to be aware of everything at all times, unfortunately. Bravo and Rayo joined El Grande at ringside, ready to lend a helping hand whenever he needed it. However, Penta had some help himself in the form of the referee.<\/p>\n<p>He hit El Grande with a Tornado DDT, then flew over the ropes when he stumbled out of the ring. As Penta tried to get back inside, Bravo took out his legs. The referee saw it and kicked him out. When that happened, El Grande conversed with Rayo, who gave him the metal for the loaded mask. He tried to hit him, but failed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_144471\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-144471\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-144471 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/11-65-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"A graphic for WWE Raw.\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/11-65-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/11-65-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/11-65.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-144471\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: WWE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With El Grande down, Penta went up to the top rope. Rayo tried to grab his leg, which got him kicked out as well. Penta jumped on him, got back in the ring, and countered a flying headbutt with a superkick. Then he hit El Grande with a Mexican Destroyer that led to the successful pinfall. He got an impressive victory, with the referee helping by kicking Los Americanos out. Will Penta be done with the trio, or will they come back for more in the coming weeks?<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on Penta, El Grande Americano and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
