&#8211; AAA Cruiserweight Championship Match: Rey Fenix (c) def. Noisy Boy to retain the title
After the match, Penta reunited with Rey Fenix and celebrated.
&#8211; Penta sent a message to World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns:
&#8220;Roman Reigns, you&#8217;ve never faced a wrestler like Penta. You&#8217;ve never been in front of a man like Penta. A man who fights every day to follow his dreams, who hasn&#8217;t been given nothing and has fought for everything, even his life when necessary, to gain everything I&#8217;ve gained in my career. Roman Reigns, I&#8217;ve never needed a family or a faction. Roman, I respect you as a wrestler, but when I win this tournament, I&#8217;m going to Mexico City and I&#8217;ll show you who is Penta.&#8221;
Los Perros del Mal offered Penta a spot in the faction because he&#8217;ll need backup to fight Roman&#8217;s Bloodline. Penta said he&#8217;ll think about it.
