Rey Mysterio tries to get involved in match; gets knocked out by masked star

Rey Mysterio tried to stop a masked star from cheating during a match. But he ended up getting knocked out in the process.

On the March 10 episode of WWE RAW, a masked star attacked Rey Mysterio during his match against The New Day. Many believed it was Chad Gable under the mask. However, he denied it when interviewed by Cathy Kelley later that night. During the interview, a masked man was escorted out of the arena by security.

Despite this, LWO were not buying that Chad Gable wasn't under the mask. It was later revealed that the masked star's name is El Grande Americano. On the March 24 episode of RAW, El Grande Americano faced off against Dragon Lee. However, he ended up pulling off Lee's match to secure the win. Given how this match ended, LWO was not done with Americano.

Tonight on the red brand, El Grande Americano teamed up with The Creed Brothers to take on LWO. During the match, Ivy Nile handed a metal plate to the star, who placed it inside his mask. Rey Mysterio spotted it and tried to confront him but was headbutted. El Grande then headbutted Dragon Lee to pick up the win for his team.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
