El Grande Americano in WWE is a masked luchador character who currently leads the trio known as Los Americanos on Raw.

Who “the Americano” is

  • El Grande Americano is a high-flying, over-the-top lucha-style persona presented as an American-themed luchador on WWE programming.
  • The character has been central to a storyline where multiple “Americanos” or masked allies appear to interfere in matches, playing up mystery and comedy at the same time.

Los Americanos group

  • Los Americanos is a trio on WWE TV: El Grande Americano plus two masked partners who wrestle under the names Bravo (in blue) and Rayo (in red).
  • The group has appeared on Raw and Main Event, often using numbers games and interference to help Americano in feuds against stars like AJ Styles and Dragon Lee.

Who is under the mask?

  • The Americano gimmick originally started as a comedy-leaning idea tied to Chad Gable’s issues with luchadors, leading to him adopting an American luchador persona before an injury.
  • After Gable’s injury, on-screen the role of El Grande Americano was taken over in storyline by Ludwig Kaiser, with commentary and reports noting Kaiser as the man under the current Americano mask.

How fans and forums talk about Americano

  • Forum discussions describe the Americano act as a satire of stereotypical “American lucha,” with some fans finding it funny and others critical of the gimmick’s tone toward Mexican wrestling culture.
  • The later version with Ludwig Kaiser has gained traction because of his exaggerated promos and mannerisms, which many fans feel turned the character into something more unique and entertaining.

Recent appearances and matches

  • Los Americanos have featured in multi-team and tag matches, including bouts against AJ Styles & Dragon Lee on Raw and War Raiders on Main Event.
  • The group has also appeared in cross-promotional settings and multi-team matches, keeping the Americano act active in late 2025 storylines.
