He has been entertaining the crowd with his gravity-defying moves. He has been part of many matches but has only been pinned twice, that too due to an outside intervention. He wrestled for the  WWE Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania in a Fatal Four Way match against Dominic Mysterio, Bron Breakker, and Finn Balor. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Penta drops Chad Gable backstage: Raw highlights, April 28, 2025\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v704vgnkGMk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Penta has shown immaculate skills in WWE, which has raised challenges and conflicts.

Yup, WWE has been placing subtle hints that the Judgment Day will implode. It all started with Dominic Mysterio rising to power due to Liv Morgan.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Finn Balor doesn&rsquo;t want to hear anymore ideas from Dominik&hellip; &#128563; #WWERaw\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pC9Gn4rSjQ8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Dominic Mysterio cost Finn Balor the title match against Bron Breakker.
