WrestleMania 42 results: Penta retains WWE Intercontinental Title in brutal, chaos-filled ladder match
Penta survived his Intercontinental Championship ladder match at WrestleMania 42. Barely.
Penta walked into WrestleMania 42 Night 2 in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas as the Intercontinental Champion, and walked out able to say "And still. " But it didn't come easy. As expected, Sunday's six-man ladder match delivered a variety of wild, chaotic moments from Je’Von Evans, Rusev, Dragon Lee, JD McDonagh, Rey Mysterio and the reigning champ.
The match got started before Penta even entered the ring, as Rusev began attacking everyone and Penta immediately climbed up an outside ladder, then jumped off it and onto the ropes for a Cross-Body onto the Bulgarian. With two heels in the match, the action quickly dissolved into good vs. bad, with Penta and Dragon Lee going after a ladder-wielding Rusev on the outside, and McDonagh also receiving his licks.
The pace increased after Evans appeared out of nowhere for a big diving splash over the ropes onto McDonagh outside. Lee followed it with a big springboard Hurricanrana that sent Evans into Penta. He is #WrestleMania BOUNCY!!
