Summary
- Penta successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship in a chaotic ladder match.
- WrestleMania 42 featured high-flying maneuvers and dangerous spots.
- Penta secured the victory with a decisive Mexican Destroyer finisher.
Penta successfully retained his Intercontinental Championship in a grueling six-pack ladder match at WWE WrestleMania 42 this past Sunday. The contest saw JD McDonagh, Rusev, and Dragon Lee make their entrances, followed by Rey Mysterio and Je'Von Evans, with the champion Penta entering last in Shao Kahn-inspired attire.
The match featured several dangerous spots. Mysterio and Penta utilized Rusev as a human crash pad, sending him through a ladder. McDonagh executed a Spanish Fly off a ladder onto Lee, and later attempted a suplex through another ladder, from which Penta escaped.
In a dramatic turn, Evans climbed for the title but was dangling until Rusev intervened. Evans then hit Rusev with an OG Cutter. However, Penta returned to the ring, hit Evans with a Mexican Destroyer, and then climbed the ladder to secure his victory and retain the Intercontinental Championship.
