A new ‘third’ El Grande Americano appeared on the Red Brand this week!

WWE’s masked mystery continues to deepen after the July 28 episode of RAW featured the third incarnation of El Grande Americano, and fans are now pointing squarely at Pete Dunne as the likely man behind the mask.

In the tag title match between Judgment Day and the LWO, the original Americano (widely confirmed as Ludwig Kaiser after Chad Gable’s injury) appeared mid-match.

But as Dragon Lee chased him backstage, another masked El Grande Americano slid over the barricade and interfered, ushering in chaos and helping Judgment Day retain their WWE World Tag Team Titles.

WWE’s commentary team was stunned: Michael Cole exclaimed, “That’s not the same man—who is this?!” and Corey Graves added, “We’ve got a new mystery on our hands.”

The second Americano appeared shorter than his predecessor, prompting speculation that his identity is not Ludwig Kaiser, but Pete Dunne, a former WWE star with a similar build, stature, and wrestling style.

Pete Dunne previously worked as part of the New Catch Republic (formerly British Strong Style) and has been absent from on-screen action lately, making this a plausible use of the mask gimmick to reintroduce him under a secret identity.

WWE has a history of repackaging stars in masked roles to preserve surprise and flexibility. With Chad Gable sidelined post-surgery and Kaiser already filling the role, Dunne stepping in as Americano offers fresh storytelling possibilities without exposing his name prematurely.

His appearance could be part of a broader storyline involving LWO, Judgment Day, or even a future face-off with Gable upon return.

As the El Grande Americano saga unfolds, now spanning three different personas, fans and WWE staff alike are on edge, waiting for the reveal.

Who was the first El Grande Americano?

Chad Gable debuted the character earlier in 2025 before suffering a legitimate injury.

Who portrayed El Grande Americano during the July 28 RAW match?

The first Americano in the match was Ludwig Kaiser, filling in for Gable. The second, who interfered from the crowd, is rumored to be Pete Dunne.

Why is WWE using multiple performers for this character?

With Gable injured and the need to keep the persona alive, WWE has used multiple masked performers to maintain continuity and mystery.
