Ludwig Kaiser has finally confirmed his identity as El Grande Americano, the masked character he portrayed after Chad Gable was sidelined for surgery earlier this year. The revelation came following months of rumors, putting an end to speculation surrounding Kaiser’s alter ego in WWE.
Since taking on the role, Kaiser has teamed up with two other wrestlers to form the group Los Americanos, who recently nearly defeated AJ Styles and Dragon Lee during a RAW episode. This new development marks a significant evolution in Kaiser’s WWE career.
The Formation of Los Americanos and Its Members
Although four performers have appeared as El Grande Americano, the original was Chad Gable prior to his injury. After Kaiser assumed the role, two additional wrestlers, named Bravo and Rayo, joined the faction, making it a stable seen on RAW this week. These new members, revealed to be former WWE UK Champions Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne, have adapted their wrestling styles to fit their masked personas, aiming to keep their true identities less obvious.
During their appearances, despite attempts to shout in Spanish, their British accents were noticeable, confirming their involvement under the masks. Their recent loss to Styles and Lee is unlikely to impede their progress as they continue developing their presence on RAW and within WWE.
Kaiser’s Public Confirmation and Ongoing Impact
Recently, Kaiser shared an interview conducted by Chris Van Vliet on Instagram where his connection to the role was openly acknowledged. The interview highlighted that, despite the concept seeming unlikely to succeed, Kaiser has managed to make it work. The mention of El Grande Americano’s name appears to have encouraged Kaiser to link himself publicly to the character, ending weeks of speculation.
This announcement is significant because it clarifies the mystery around a key WWE figure and strengthens the storyline involving Los Americanos. With the team’s visibility increasing, it suggests WWE may continue to expand their roles, potentially building new rivalries and story arcs on RAW. Fans and observers will likely watch closely to see how this development influences Kaiser’s career trajectory and the group’s future in the company.
