Penta Confirms He’s Still Wrestling With Torn Bicep, Comments On Shoulder Injury He Suffered In 2025

Penta has been working through the pain.

There is a new men’s Intercontinental Champion in WWE, and it is Penta. He scored a win over Dominik Mysterio on the March 2nd Monday Night Raw to capture the title.

Following his first title win in WWE, Penta joined No-Contest Wrestling and spoke about the victory.

“Man, the first thing was crazy. But at the same time, I feel like the emotion fixes it because it’s so very special for me but, the most important thing, I want to say thank you. Thank you to my family, thank you to my friends, thank you to my company and thank you to everyone who believed in me because this is very important, and thank you to myself, because I believe in me every single day to achieve this title. It’s like 20 years, the hard work, 20 years of the sacrifice. But, now, this title represent all these people who never give up because Penta represent all those people. Penta represent the dreamers, Penta represent the fighters so they’re real life, you know? So, that’s why I feel so glad because finally, these all people who believe in me, it’s like, finally, Penta growing up and Penta finally achieve the title. I think this is the most important thing because this title is not just for Penta. It’s for all those people.”

Penta would also confirm that he’s still wrestling with a torn bicep. In February 2025, Penta first revealed that he’d been wrestling with the injury for three years. He then commented on the shoulder injury that sidelined him in late 2025.

“This injury was like, maybe, I don’t remember exactly. Four, five years ago? Something like that. I don’t remember who gave me a kick. One kick in my chest but, basically, he broke my tendon, from the shoulder to the bicep, and bro, it’s so hard… and this is the shoulder for the last injury. You remember that? A couple months ago.” Penta was asked how his shoulder is feeling, and he replied, “Now, no matter. I’m f*cking glad. Because the gold is on my shoulder brother. The gold is in Mexico right now. No matter what happen with my body, I don’t care. This is the most important.”

Penta has been with WWE for a full year. He is featured on Raw while his brother Rey Fenix is on SmackDown.
