• WWE Cancels WrestleMania 42 Match For 2 Former Champions
After Chad Gable aka Original El Grande Americano suffered an injury, Ludwig Kaiser took over the character and elevated it, becoming AAA’s most popular babyface. Gable returned at the Royal Rumble in January and eliminated Kaiser from the Men’s Royal Rumble match.
There had been talk of a WrestleMania showdown between the two El Grande Americanos, potentially in a Mask vs. Mask match.
However, Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer reports that WWE will not go forward with the match at WrestleMania 42. The match is now set to happen in AAA instead, and WWE is holding off on a match between the former Speed Champions for the time being.
So far, the company has announced 12 matches for the Grandest Stage of Them All.
• WrestleMania 42 Match For IShowSpeed Revealed
WWE announced four new matches for WrestleMania 42 on the latest episode of RAW, bringing the total number of announced bouts to 12.
According to the Wrestling Observer, a 6-Man Tag Team match featuring Logan Paul, Austin Theory and IShowSpeed against The Usos and LA Knight is currently scheduled for the Show of Shows. If IShowSpeed isn’t ready, WWE could adjust the bout to a Tag Team match with Speed and Knight in the corners, but the three-on-three contest is what’s currently planned.
As noted before, WWE had been considering IShowSpeed for WrestleMania for some time.
On last night’s RAW, Speed accidentally struck Knight with brass knuckles, which played a key role in The Usos losing the World Tag Team Championship to The Vision.
