Raw General Manager Adam Pearce has been facing a tough time dealing with Chad Gable on the red brand. Pearce has been repeatedly irked by the American Made leader’s fanatics in recent weeks. While Gable is engaged in a heated rivalry with Rey Mysterio, a mysterious luchador has been a thorn in the foot for the authority figure.
This week’s edition of the red brand, broadcasted live from Glasgow, Scotland, had an interesting turn of events surrounding the new Luchador. Chad Gable was supposed to face Dragon Lee on Raw but instead handed a sick note to Pearce, demanding that El Grande Americano take his place instead. Americano went on to win the match after removing Lee’s mask.
The Latino World Order (LWO) members, including Rey Mysterio, were irked by Gable’s move to replace himself. However, Pearce recently took to social media to clarify that the former American Alpha leader’s sick note was actually signed by an actual medical professional.

El Grande Americano has been attacking LWO members week after week, vanishing into thin air afterward. While many believe that the Luchador is none other than Gable himself, the former Tag Team Champion has denied the allegations. Speculations rose after Americano’s moveset was notably identical to Gable’s, especially his signature German Suplex.
Who is El Grande Americano?
The masked Luchador has been making waves on Monday Night Raw after making an unexpected appearance on the March 17 episode of the iconic show. Americano interfered in the match between Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee and The New Day. The luchador’s distraction allowed the latter to pick up the victory, frustrating the LWO.
While not much is known about Americano’s origins, his identity has been a hot topic among fans. Many alleged that Gable is cosplaying the character to fool the LWO. Moreover, similarities between the physique build and American influence on the outfit make a strong case for the luchador and Gable to be the same person.
However, WWE, as usual, has been smart at playing the imposter storyline. During a backstage interview with Cathy Kelley, Gable denied being the luchador, with the segment ending with security escorting the masked individual out of the arena at the same time. It now needs to be seen how the Lucha Libre fiasco would be utilized on the road to WrestleMania.
Chad Gable received an unexpected surprise in Mexico
Parallels between Chad Gable and El Americano were established after the former disappeared from WWE for a brief period. It was alleged that Gable travelled to Mexico to learn tactics on how to counter the LWO threat. In a video package aired on the March 3 episode of Monday Night Raw, Gable was seen meeting a mystery man. The man gifted the former Tag Team Champion a surprise gift, seemingly a box.
The mystery figure explained to Gable that he can’t conquer those who can’t understand. It was not long after El Americano Grande came ‘out of the box’ and became Gable’s aide to deal with the Lucha Libre threat. Gable is yet to win a singles title in the company.
It needs to be seen if the American Made leader will rise through the ranks with the help of his new ‘friend’. The WWE Universe has been divided over the storyline. Some term the cosplay interesting, while others have slammed the company for ‘mocking’ the respected wrestling community.
