WWE's El Grande Americano feud erupts with firings and a mask vs. mask showdown
A bitter feud in WWE has taken a dramatic turn with firings, betrayals, and a high-stakes mask vs. mask showdown. The rivalry between El Grande Americano and a mysterious imposter—now calling himself the Original El Grande Americano—has escalated ahead of their scheduled clash later this month. The conflict spilled over into tonight’s RAW, where loyalties shifted and a major match unfolded. The trouble began a year ago when El Grande Americano debuted on WWE TV. Over time, he expanded his faction by bringing in Rayo and Bravo. But tensions rose when an imposter started dressing as El Grande Americano, claiming to be the original version of the character.
The feud deepened when El Grande Americano signed a contract for a mask vs. mask match without reading a hidden clause. That clause forced his real-life partner, AAA wrestler Andrea Bazarte, out of the promotion after she attacked the imposter. WWE Español later confirmed her firing on Instagram, writing, *'The Original snatched our Pin Pons.'* At the contract signing, The Creed Brothers turned on El Grande Americano, siding with the Original. Their alliance was put to the test tonight on *RAW*, where the Creeds—now masked—teamed with the Original to face Los Americanos and El Grande Americano. The Original’s team won, further stacking the odds against the real El Grande Americano before their upcoming match.
The mask vs. mask showdown is now set for the end of the month. El Grande Americano enters the bout without his partner and with former allies turned enemies. Meanwhile, the Original’s faction grows stronger, leaving the outcome of this personal rivalry uncertain.
