In an unexpected turn of events, WWE has today announced several new matches for the forthcoming WrestleMania 41. Amongst these fresh additions are the Intercontinental Championship that will be set as a Fatal 4-Way, and an electrifying Triple Threat match for the Women’s World Championship. However, perhaps the most exciting revelation is that the line-up now includes a face-off between Rey Mysterio and El Grande Americano.
In an episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, Chad Gable paired up with The Creed Brothers for a high-voltage six-man tag team match against LWO’s Dragon Lee, Cruz Del Toro, and Joaquin Wilde. During the gripping event, El Grande Americano was given a metal plate by Ivy Nile, his team member. The interesting twist saw him using this plate to enhance his luchador mask, leveraging it for potent headbutts and clinching victory.
Rey Mysterio later confronted the General Manager, Adam Pearce, expressing his grievance at Gable’s actions, accusing him of disrespecting the tradition of lucha libre. Mysterio wasted no time in challenging Gable to a match on The Grandest Stage of Them All, an idea that quickly got a green signal from Pearce.
Although no specialty stipulations for this match up have surfaced just yet, such as both competitors wagering their masks, currently it’s assumed that they will face-off in a traditional singles match.
The widely-followed WWE handle confirmed this thrilling addition to the WrestleMania 41 card with a tweet:
“BREAKING: @reymysterio will go one-on-one with @Americano_WWE at #WrestleMania!”
