The latest addition to the Monday Night Raw crew, El Grande Americano, apparently possesses quite the powerful lineage, based on a small film that was broadcast on the episode aired today.
This brief film delved into his past up to the point of his mysterious departure (before his recent comeback to WWE), providing some helpful context for those not already in the know. See the undeniably AI-created (booooo) video here:

Indeed, this is the guise that Chad Gable has embraced as he steps into his fresh luchador character, irrespective of the fact that he firmly refuses to acknowledge it. Today, he even went as far as presenting Raw General Manager Adam Pearce with a medical chit claiming he wasn’t fit to participate and suggesting that El Grande Americano could instead confront Dragon Lee.
Subsequently, in that bout, Gable actually demasked Dragon Lee, exploiting the ensuing confusion to trap him in an ankle lock, securing his victory.
