Santana also reflected on the time that he and Penta wrestled 24 times around the world in one year.

“Absolutely amazing. I’m so proud of him. So when we wrestled each other [at House of Glory], there was a short documentary that was filmed. That documentary was just put together for my personal thing, right, because Penta and I, the Lucha Bros and I, we’ve had such a deep history with each other. One year, we wrestled each other 24 times around the world. We took that match everywhere. So we have a very strong bond, a very strong relationship. I knew everything that was going on before it happened, so I hit him up, and I congratulated him, and I sent him that video. He sent me a voice memo tearing up. It was just special, man, and to see what he’s doing now, I’m so proud of him. He’s gonna be a megastar."

In the past, Penta has spoken about what a special time this is for him in his career. Read his comments here.
