Roman Reigns reaches 150 days as World Heavyweight Champion after Raw defence in Mexico City

Roman Reigns reached 150 days as WWE World Heavyweight Champion after retaining his title against Penta on the 9/14 episode of WWE Raw at Arena CDMX in Mexico City.

The match formed part of WWE’s Latin America tour and was billed as one of the show’s biggest attractions. Reigns’ Raw appearance was notable because the former Undisputed WWE Champion rarely competes in recent months, making his return a major draw for the Mexican audience. Penta entered as the hometown challenger and drew strong support from the Arena CDMX crowd.

The bout produced several memorable moments, including Penta hitting Reigns with the Springboard Destroyer. Reigns also took the Penta Driver, giving the challenger opportunities to potentially pull off a major upset. Those sequences heightened the tension as the match progressed.

WWE confirmed a showdown between the World Heavyweight Champion and LA Knight, with Knight now positioned as the next challenger to Reigns’ title. Knight has remained one of the most prominent stars on the Raw roster, and WWE hinted after Raw that the company is saving a special moment for him.

Reigns’ 150-day milestone therefore arrives at an important point in his reign. LA Knight will challenge Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank 2026.
