No unscheduled wins on Monday Night Raw.
Penta and Solo Sikoa were wrestling on Monday when Penta suddenly suffered an injury after a bad landing following a hurricanrana. After a few minutes, the referee stopped the match and Sikoa was awarded the victory, advancing to the next round of The Last Time Is Now tournament where he will take on Gunther. Although that results in a heel/heel matchup, according to Bryan Alvarez that was the planned outcome of the match despite Pentaâ€s injury.
“Solo Sikoa was scheduled to beat Penta, so nothing changed in the tournament,†he writes.
The injury took place early in the match, around the four minute mark. According to Alvarez, once it was clear Penta had suffered an injury Wade Barrett threw the show into a commercial break as Joe Tessitore was being fed information. The match was originally scheduled to be around twelve minutes.
Two more quarterfinal matches in the tournament will air on Fridayâ€s SmackDown. Jey Uso will take on Rusev, while a mystery competitor will face LA Knight. The winner of the touranment will face John Cena at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13.
