“From Day One, my mind was set on one thing — being a professional wrestler,” Rey Mysterio stated after competing in the six-pack ladder match.
Early Tuesday, Mysterio participated in this high-stakes event at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. He faced off against five other competitors, including Penta, who ultimately won the match to retain the Intercontinental Championship.
Penta made his WWE debut in January 2025 and has quickly risen through the ranks. He won his first championship just last month, on March 2, 2026. This victory at WrestleMania 42 marks another milestone in his growing legacy.
Mysterio, now a WWE Hall of Famer, has had a storied career. Standing at only 5 feet 6 inches tall, he has overcome many obstacles due to his size throughout his wrestling journey. He began wrestling at the age of 15 after obtaining a license with parental consent.
Growing up in Tijuana, Mexico, Mysterio was inspired by his uncle, the original Rey Mysterio. He joined AAA at age 17 and quickly gained recognition for his talent.
Yet, despite his success and accolades, Mysterio remains focused on proving himself. “I want to prove to them that I am better than they think I am,” he declared. His ambitions include reaching the pinnacle of WWE as World Heavyweight Champion.
As of midday Tuesday, details remain unconfirmed regarding future events for Mysterio or Penta. Fans are eager to see what comes next for these two dynamic wrestlers following their performances at WrestleMania.
