Was Roman Reigns vs. Penta the WWE Match of the Year so far—or perhaps the greatest match of Roman Reigns’ career? On this episode of the First Black Champ Podcast, we break down the electric World Heavyweight Championship clash from WWE Raw in Mexico City, debate Penta’s performance on the biggest stage, and discuss whether the match changed Camp’s view of the Mexican superstar. Roman retained the championship before LA Knight made his next move, setting up their official title match at WWE Money in the Bank. We also dive into the developing WWE Crown Jewel picture. Could Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns be on a collision course for a champion-vs.-champion showdown? With their Bloodline history, Sami’s connection to the region, and reports pointing toward a potential Crown Jewel encounter, there is plenty to unpack. The possible matchup has been reported as a direction WWE is considering, not as a confirmed match. Plus, is WWE slowly building toward a Cody Rhodes heel turn? We discuss the pattern surrounding everyone who celebrated Cody after WrestleMania, what a darker “American Nightmare” character could look like, and whether a standalone, power-hungry “Homelander”-style Cody or a new faction would make more sense. Finally, it is Money in the Bank season. Can LA Knight pull off the upset against Roman Reigns? Who should fill the remaining spots in the men’s and women’s MITB ladder matches? We make our picks and talk Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, Solo Sikoa, Dragon Lee, Dominik Mysterio, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Jacy Jayne, Roxanne Perez, Iyo Sky, and more. Drop your WWE Match of the Year pick, your ideal Money in the Bank fields, and your Cody Rhodes heel-turn fantasy booking in the comments. #WWE #RomanReigns #Penta #MoneyInTheBank #CodyRhodes #SamiZayn #FirstBlackChampPodcast
