El Grande Americano Cheats His Way to Victory Over Rey Fénix at WrestleMania 41
WrestleMania 41 wasn’t without controversy, and no match stirred up more buzz than the showdown between the mysterious El Grande Americano and high-flying sensation Rey Fénix. In what should have been a show-stealing clash of styles, fans instead witnessed another dirty win—one that continues to raise questions about the masked man’s true identity.
Because El Grande Americano didn’t just win—he cheated. Again.
A Rising Star Meets a Loaded Mask
Rey Fénix came into WrestleMania red-hot, fresh off a string of wins and dazzling performances that positioned him as the future of the WWE mid-card scene. But he may have underestimated the lengths El Grande Americano would go to preserve his aura of invincibility.
The match was electric from the start, with Fénix delivering a masterclass in lucha libre technique and aerial risk-taking. But every time Fénix gained momentum, El Grande Americano found a way to halt it—often bending the rules in the process.
And then came the knockout headbutt.
The Loaded Mask Strikes Again
Just as Fénix was about to hit his signature Fire Driver, El Grande Americano slipped free, pulled down his head, and delivered a devastating headbutt. Fénix dropped to the mat like a sack of bricks, clearly dazed. One three-count later, the match was over.
Commentary was quick to point out what many fans had suspected for weeks: El Grande Americano’s mask appeared to contain a hidden metal plate, giving his headbutts an unnatural and illegal edge.
Who Is Under the Mask?
The post-match speculation quickly reignited around the biggest mystery of all—Is El Grande Americano actually Chad Gable?
Despite chants of “TAKE IT OFF!” from the crowd, El Grande Americano smirked, saluted the crowd mockingly, and made a hasty retreat, refusing to address the allegations or the cheating.
And with the win secured, WWE rules state that no unmasking would be required.
So for now, the mystery remains. No punishment has been announced. No confirmation. No consequences.
Just a loaded mask, a tainted victory—and one more chapter in the strange saga of El Grande Americano.
