Summary
Roman Reigns retained the World Heavyweight Championship on Monday Night Raw in Mexico City, pinning Penta after a Superman Punch and spear in one of Raw’s standout matches of the year.
Penta, wrestling before a home-country crowd after winning a No. 1 contender tournament, nearly swung the bout by damaging Reigns’ right arm and forcing the champion to fight through a Penta Driver and Mexican Destroyer.
LA Knight confronted Reigns immediately after the defense, dropping him with a BFT as WWE moved quickly to the champion’s next feud.
Adam Pearce made the next title match official Tuesday: Reigns will defend against Knight at Money in the Bank on Oct. 10 in New Orleans.
