WWE RAW delivered a shocker on July 28 at Detroitβs Little Caesars Arena when not one, but two versions of El Grande Americano appeared during the showβleaving fans and commentators scratching their heads just days before SummerSlam.
The masked mystery character made an expected appearance during Judgment Dayβs WWE Tag Team Title defense against the LWO. But this time, the twist was more layered than anyone saw coming.
The first masked El Grande Americano made his entrance during the match. Based on his height, build, and punch technique, it was clear that Ludwig Kaiser was once again under the mask. However, he didnβt last long, as Dragon Lee chased him off to the back.
Then things got strange. A second masked man, significantly shorter in stature, hopped the guardrail and interferedβcausing just enough distraction for Judgment Day to retain their titles. The surprise caught even WWEβs commentary team off guard. Michael Cole said on air, βThatβs not the same manβ¦ who is this?β Corey Graves added, βWeβve got a new mystery on our hands.β
No identity has been confirmed for the second El Grande Americano, but one thing is certainβthereβs a new wrinkle on RAW thatβs going to have fans guessing all the way into SummerSlam weekend.
