WWE Quietly Abandons Recent Gimmick Changes For Major Tag Team
WWE recently changed this popular tag team’s gimmick only to abandon it soon after.
There has been an interesting storyline in the works for the past few months in WWE involving the Original El Grande Americano (Chad Gable) and the other El Grande Americano, Ludwig Kaiser, along with multiple other Luchadors on each man’s side.
Before the Original El Grande Americano returned to WWE TV at the Royal Rumble following an injury, Ludwig Kaiser was performing weekly on Raw as El Grande Americano alongside Rayo and Bravo Americano as the faction Los Americanos.
Upon his return, The Original has been feuding with El Grande. After multiple matches involving the luchadors, their feud is set to culminate in a Mask vs. Mask match in WWE’s Mexican sister promotion, AAA-Worldwide.
In the build-up to their match, on the May 4th episode of Raw, The Original introduced a couple of Luchadors as his teammates. The men in question were Julius and Brutus Creed, but the Original introduced them as Julio Creedo and Bruto Creedo, the Los Creedos. Gable’s Americano gimmick has always been about comedy, so it was painfully obvious who was behind the masks. The team later defeated Rayo and Bravo Americano in a tag team match on the same night.
However, on the latest edition of AAA, the Creed Brothers had dropped the masks and showed up as themselves alongside Gable.
This decision was seemingly made because Bruto Creedo’s mask went viral on social media for all the wrong reasons, as he couldn’t see through it; it was so small. WWE had to erase the mask idea and revert the Creed Brothers to their normal selves again.

The Original El Grande Americano Will Face El Grande Americano In a Mas Vs Mask Match In WWE’s AAA-Worldwide
The feud between Gable’s original and Kaiser’s version is set to culminate on May 30th in AAA Noche de Los Grandes in a Mask vs Mask match, where the loser will have to take off their mask.
The contract signing for the match had a twist. Gable had it in the contract that Kaiser could not touch him leading up to the event. However, what Kaiser didn’t realise was that another clause in the same contract he signed was that Kaiser’s girlfriend, backstage interviewer, Andrea Bazarte, would have to leave WWE-owned AAA.
Bazarte then agreed to this condition and now hopes that her boyfriend will avenge her on May 30th by defeating Gable.
For a feud that has been going on for the better part of 2026, it would be interesting to see what happens during the match.
