Joaquin Wilde has revealed that he inadvertently manifested his recent WWE Main Event match against Penta, which took place during Monday’s pre-Raw tapings at Madison Square Garden.
Wilde noted the coincidence on social media, connecting it to a clip he had shared just weeks earlier of their previous encounter from 2017. In that match, Wilde, then competing as Zema Ion, defeated Penta for the AAW Heritage Championship.
Manifestation! 2 weeks ago i shared highlights of a match between me and Penta from 2017. Now we meet again, in Madison Square Garden of all places. Watch us run it back on the next episode of WWE Main Event. Available soon on Hulu and Peacock.
The match drew attention after a botched spot during the Madison Square Garden taping went viral online. Wilde acknowledged the encounter but made no direct reference to the in-ring mishap in his post.
Penta has been building momentum since joining WWE in January, winning all four of his Raw singles matches. He also defeated Grayson Waller in his Main Event debut last month.
Despite his singles success, Penta experienced setbacks in multi-competitor matches, including his Royal Rumble debut and a Raw Triple Threat featuring Butch and Ludwig Kaiser, with Kaiser emerging victorious.
