WWE fans are in for a shock - Not Chad Gable, someone else is behind the El Grande Americano mask
During the June 30th episode of WWE RAW, it was revealed that wrestler Chad Gable is scheduled for surgery due to a recent injury. Rumors of him being injured and taking a break have been ongoing for quite some time now.
And with Gable gone, with the surgery putting him out of action for quite some time in the future, fans also thought that another wrestling character - El Grande Americano - who is yet to take off his mask on camera, will be out as well. But that does not seem to be the case.
Chad Gable is absent, but El Grande Americano is not
After the recent announcement about Chad Gable on the latest RAW episode, fans believed that his taking time off meant that El Grande Americano would also be absent from the ringside. But much to the surprise of many, El Grande Americano made a surprise appearance in a backstage segment with American Made. This blew the minds of
WWE
fans, who until now, were fully convinced that Chad Gable and Americano are one and the same.

It seems like in Chad Gable's absence, who until now was using the El Grande Americano mask, another wrestler, who was seen lurking about in recent backstage segments, will be taking over the duties of the current WWE Speed Championship, and continue to defend the title. Yes, Ludwig Kaiser, it's you.
Who is behind the El Grande Americano mask?
After the Adam Pearce and Chad Gable backstage segment in RAW, where they revealed that Gable would take some time off for his surgery and recovery,

Optical Illusion: Only an animal lover can spot the hidden glasses around this cute orangutan in just 10 seconds
Image credit: Brightside Optical illusions have a magical way of tickling the brain. What looks like a simple photo often hides a surprise that many might miss. And today's illusion is no exception! It features an adorable orangutan relaxing in a forest, but hidden somewhere in the scene is a sneaky pair of glasses. The twist? The challenge is to find it in just 10 seconds! So, do animal lovers have a sharper eye? Let's find out. At first look, the image seems calm and cute, an orangutan resting peacefully among green leaves. Nothing seems out of place. But the moment someone is told there's something hidden, the brain jumps into detective mode. Image credit: Brightside That's how optical illusions work. They play with how the brain sees shapes, patterns, and colours. What's obvious to one person may be completely invisible to another. And in this case, the task is to locate the glasses quietly resting somewhere near the orangutan. This brain teaser is gaining attention on the internet, with people across social media challenging each other to beat the 10-second timer. While it might sound simple, it's anything but easy. The glasses have been cleverly blended into the background, making them nearly invisible to the untrained eye. Some claim that only true animal lovers or people with strong observational skills can spot the hidden object in time. Of course, it's all in fun, but there's no harm in putting those eyes to the test! Need a hint? Still searching for the mysterious glasses? Don't worry, a little nudge never hurts.

Just beneath the upper arm, a small outline blends perfectly into the fur. The frames have a similar brownish colour, making them look like part of the orangutan's body. The brain tends to skip over such camouflaged details unless something really stands out. That's why this challenge is such a tricky one! Why are optical illusions so addictive? Challenges like this one are not just fun; they also give the brain a bit of a workout. These illusions test visual perception, the process by which the brain interprets what the eyes see. In doing so, they improve focus, attention to detail, and sometimes even memory. For some people, solving such puzzles offers a small dose of satisfaction. For others, it's about proving they can spot what many others miss. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
