Chad Gable Slips Up and Admits He Was El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41

Chad Gable may have just let WWE’s worst-kept secret slip.

While speaking at a baseball game, the Olympian-turned-WWE Superstar casually confirmed what fans have speculated for months—that he was the man behind the mask as El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41. Although WWE never officially addressed it on TV, Gable’s words were enough to connect the dots. He brought up a personal milestone while reflecting on his WWE career:

“So back in April I had my first singles match at WrestleMania. So in WWE terms, that’s like the be-all and end-all show, right? So that was kind of a crowning moment so far in my WWE career.”

The problem? Chad Gable wasn’t listed in any singles match at WrestleMania 41—unless, of course, he was under a mask. That match saw El Grande Americano take on Rey Fenix in a surprise bout, and Gable’s slip-up all but confirms he was under the mask the entire time.

Gable is currently sidelined following shoulder surgery, which explains why Ludwig Kaiser has been filling the Americano role on WWE programming. Kaiser even adopted the masked persona in Gable’s absence—though WWE has never openly acknowledged who originally played the role.

Now that Gable has essentially confirmed it himself, fans are wondering if WWE will address the reveal once he’s medically cleared to return.

For someone so precise in the ring, Gable’s mic skills might’ve just given away the whole game.
