Quote from Penta

“The most important thing I want to say thank you. Thank you to my family, thank you to my friends, thank you to my company, and thank you to everyone who believe in me because this is very important. And thank you to myself because I believe in me every single day to achieve this title, man. You know, it’s like 20 years the hard work, 20 years of the sacrifice, but now this title represent all these people who never give up because Penta represent all those people. Penta represent the dreamers. Penta represent the fighters of the real life, you know.”

Penta later went on to say:

“I say as I mentioned before when I come to WWE, I want to conquer everything. This is only the first step. Yes, but this is the first step, man. This title is only the first step. I’m ready for the next step. Now I prepared for every match I defend in every single show. No matter against who because Penta is ready for everything. Because I said before I don’t want to be the next Rey Mysterio. I want to be the first Penta.”
