The 41st annual WrestleMania will take place in just 12 days. The big event will feature several notable happenings, including at least one Showcase of Immortals debut: El Grande Americano. The masked Superstar is now revealing two must-see WWE firsts as he prepares for a major spectacle at Allegiant Stadium.
El Grande Americano bills himself as one of the greatest luchadors ever, despite American Made's ongoing lucha libre experiment. Suspiciously resembling Chad Gable, the grappler disrespectfully debuted last month by defeating and unmasking Dragon Lee. He returned to action on Monday in Chad Gable's hometown of Minneapolis, teaming with American Made's Creed Brothers to cheat their way to a win over the LWO's Dragon Lee, Cruz Del Toro, and Joaquin Wilde. Grande also took out Rey Mysterio on the apron.
The Master of the 619 vs. The Great American was booked for WrestleMania 41 following last night's RAW controversy. It remains to be seen what Chad Gable will be doing on The Grandest Stage of Them All this year, but American Made's masked ally is making his PLE debut at his first-ever 'Mania event, as seen in his promotional poster with Mysterio.
"#Wrestlemania," El Grande Americano wrote with the graphic below.
Adam Pearce seems to be backing Americano's run on the red brand. The so-called undefeated RAW Superstar later took to Instagram to share a photo from his first official WWE photo shoot, showing how the RAW General Manager kept him busy backstage at the Target Center in Gable's hometown this past Monday.
"Viva Las Vegas!" El Grande Americano wrote with the photo below.
Grande won Monday's RAW match and took Mysterio out thanks to a foreign object placed into his mask, supplied by Ivy Nile. Grande used the rigged mask to headbutt Rey off the apron, then headbutt Dragon Lee off the top turnbuckle to put him in place for the diving headbutt finisher.
