• 2 More Wrestlers Getting Added to the El Grande Americano Angle
Plans surrounding Chad Gable’s return are starting to take shape, and the El Grande Americano storyline is expected to expand rather than reset.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, Gable is scheduled to be in Saudi Arabia during Royal Rumble 2026 week, signaling that his return to WWE programming is getting closer.
Despite Gable nearing a comeback, WWE is not planning to drop the El Grande Americano presentation currently being portrayed by Ludwig Kaiser. There are also no immediate plans to remove Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne from their Rayo and Bravo Americano roles.
Instead, discussions have already begun about expanding the angle. Sean Ross Sapp has reported that WWE has talked internally about adding The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) to the storyline once Gable is back in the mix.
At this stage, the direction appears to be growth rather than replacement, with the El Grande Americano angle expected to continue evolving as more performers are brought into the story.
• RAW Star Will Be A Big Part Of WrestleMania 42
Liv Morgan has officially resumed in-ring activity, and her return comes with notable internal expectations.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, WWE decision-makers are discussing pushing Morgan as a “centerpiece of the WWE women’s division” heading into WrestleMania 42 this year. Multiple sources indicated there is interest in positioning her in a prominent role, with some favoring a singles program.
Morgan has already been cleared and has worked matches on WWE’s holiday tour. Liv will face Lyra Valkyria on Monday’s RAW, which will be her first televised match since her return.
Bodyslam also reported that WWE is discussing doing Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer vs. Liv Morgan, but the belief is that it is a program intended to be built toward gradually rather than launched immediately.
• WWE Is Holding Off On 3 Major Title Matches
Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer has several high-profile matches on WWE’s long-term radar, though none are expected to be rushed. According to Bodyslam, a potential matchup between Vaquer and Liv Morgan has been talked about for some time.
That is why WWE has already teased this feud on RAW in a backstage segment, but the belief is that it is a program intended to be built toward gradually rather than launched immediately.
The thinking is that Vaquer is being positioned carefully, with WWE wanting to maximize the impact of her first major rivalries on the main roster. As a result, the Vaquer vs. Morgan match is viewed as a future payoff rather than an imminent storyline.
Beyond Morgan, WWE also sees significant upside in pairing Vaquer with some of the company’s top women. Matches against Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley have both been discussed internally as strong options when the timing makes sense.
