Kofi Kingston appears to have accepted Penta’s Intercontinental Championship open challenge for Monday’s Raw at Madison Square Garden, responding to the champion’s social media post with a quote tweet that was reposted by WWE’s official account.
Penta announced the open challenge on Instagram and X on Saturday, posting a promotional graphic and writing: “NYC. MSG. P0M. IC OPEN CHALLENGE!!! Porque yo no le tengo miedo A NADIE. MONDAY NIGHT RAW WILL BE A SCORCHER. Penta’s road to WrestleMania is ON!”
Kingston quoted Penta’s post and wrote: “No se diga mas, cabron. I would love nothing more than to walk into the depths of Hell (New York) and pry the Holy Grail (IC Title) from the vile grips of the Devil himself (Penta). See you tomorrow, amigo.”
