For the third time today, a match has been added to the card for WWE WrestleMania 41—this time, it is Rey Mysterio against El Grande Americano.
On tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw, there was a six-man tag team match between American Made's Creed Brothers (Brutus Creed and Julius Creed) and Minneapolis hometown boy Chad Gable, working under his El Grande Americano mask, against three members of the Latino World Order (Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde, and Dragon Lee).
Toward the end of the match, Ivy Nile slipped some sort of steel plate or chunk of metal to El Grande Americano while the referee wasn't looking. He placed this within his mask and then used it in loaded foreign object style, headbutting the LWO with that inside for extra damage unbeknownst to the referee. This was able to secure his team the victory after a diving headbutt.
After weeks of Gable playing this luchador character—which came about from him studying the dark arts of lucha libre in order to learn how to overcome luchadors like the LWO—Rey Mysterio has finally had enough. He went to Raw General Manager Adam Pearce backstage and demanded a match for WrestleMania in order to get back at Gable for making a mockery of lucha libre. Pearce didn't take any time to agree to the match.
It's important to note that nothing else has been mentioned as far as this having any sort of stipulations like their masks being on the line.
In case you missed the news from earlier, two other matches were also added to the lineup for WrestleMania 41. Bron Breakker will defend the Men's Intercontinental Championship in a Fatal 4-Way match against Penta and The Judgment Day's Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor.
