Penta captured his first WWE Intercontinental Championship on Monday's episode of "Raw." The newly minted titleholder challenged Dominik Mysterio inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Danhausen Cursed Dominik Mysterio
Prior to the WWE Intercontinental Championship match, "Raw" general manager Adam Pearce introduced The Judgment Day to Danhausen. Mysterio brushed Danhausen off, saying the latest WWE signee would never win the intercontinental title. As a result, Danhausen cursed Mysterio, and fans on social media are already crediting the former AEW star for causing the title switch.
Danhause made his WWE debut at "Elimination Chamber 2026." WWE promised to unveil the contents of a mystery box that surfaced on "Raw" and "SmackDown" weeks prior to the PLE. Danhausen ended up making his way out of the box with a group of dancers, who all wore his signature face paint.
