WWE teases first-time championship matchup for WrestleMania following chaotic main event on Raw

This week’s Raw delivered a thrilling showdown between rising star Bron Breakker and veteran Finn Balor for the Intercontinental Title. The Prince came close to capturing the gold, but Breakker shut him down, thanks to some subtle Judgment Day interference. After the match, The Judgment Day launched an attack on WWE’s Dawg, but someone stepped in to help the champion.

That someone was none other than Penta. El Miedo stormed the ring, taking out Dominik Mysterio and Carlito with his electrifying moves. But after fending off The Judgment Day, his attention shifted to the Intercontinental Title lying on the mat. He picked it up, with his desire evident—only to hand it back to Breakker. As Raw went off the air, the two stood face-to-face, teasing a potential showdown for the gold.

While there was clear mutual respect between them, the hunger for gold was even stronger. With an intense stare, Penta hit his signature El Cero Miedo taunt, letting Breakker know he had his eyes on him. With WrestleMania right around the corner, it looks like these two could be on a collision course for the Intercontinental Title.

The two also had a brief face-off before the Royal Rumble, but nothing came of it—until now. It looks like WWE has found the perfect time to kickstart this rivalry on the road to WrestleMania. With both stars riding a wave of momentum, their potential clash feels even more must-see. And with the Intercontinental Title on the line at The Grandest Stage of Them All, this could be an unforgettable showdown.

Penta is more confident than ever heading to WrestleMania

Last night on Raw, Penta took on a fired-up and frustrated Ludwig Kaiser in a No Holds Barred match. Despite facing tough competition, he managed to take down the Imperium member in a hard-fought battle. After his big win, Cathy Kelley caught up with the former AEW star for an interview. With a confident look, El Miedo made it clear—everyone should be on notice.

He thanked the WWE Universe for their immense support to this point. The 40-year-old called it the “Penta Era,” and would like the fans to join him in his journey. With Kaiser aside, the former AEW star claimed that he has his sights on the Intercontinental Championship. Therefore, on the road to WrestleMania, he is willing to do whatever it takes to make the mark.

Penta kept it short but powerful in his promo. Since arriving in WWE, El Miedo has been undefeated in singles competition. The real question now is whether he can keep that momentum going as he climbs the ranks on Raw.

Is WWE planning a multi-person match for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania?

Reports suggest that WWE is considering a multi-person match for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania. While no official moves have been made in that direction yet, there’s still a chance it could happen. With four weeks to go until Mania, WWE has plenty of time to weave multiple storylines into this potential matchup.

Stars like Penta, who have been dominating the division single-handedly since their arrival, could also become a part of the Intercontinental Title match. Moreover, the likes of Finn Balor might decide to once again establish themselves on the main roster by winning the Intercontinental Title, that too at WrestleMania.

Furthermore, Sheamus, who has been on a journey to become a grand slam champion, could be involved in this match. Such a potential Fatal-4 way or 5-way would serve as a spectacular bout on the WrestleMania card, featuring a strong line-up of newcomers and top stars.
