Chad Gable opens up on WrestleMania 41, Jason Jordan, and his alter-ego El Grande Americano
Image via WWE WWE Superstar Chad Gable is embracing a whirlwind of emotions following WrestleMania 41, where he quietly made his mark under a mask. While he was not advertised for the main event, Gable did compete, just not as himself. In a light-hearted yet honest conversation with Rope Breaks, Gable revealed that he felt "robbed" of a proper WrestleMania spotlight yet again. 'I got robbed again, man,' Gable said, referencing his absence under his real name. 'This year, by this new guy, comes out of nowhere. Two matches, and he's on WrestleMania. Can you imagine how I feel? Twelve years in, thirteen years in?' The 'new guy' he's talking about? None other than El Grande Americano , Gable's own masked persona. On Night 2 of WrestleMania 41, Gable, as El Grande Americano, faced off against Rey Fenix. The match wasn't originally scheduled, but Fenix stepped in as a last-minute replacement for the injured Rey Mysterio, who pulled out due to a torn groin. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

Chad Gable opens up on Jason Jordan's role backstage Beyond WrestleMania, Gable also spoke candidly in another interview, this time with The Ringer Wrestling Show , about working with his longtime friend and former tag team partner Jason Jordan. Jordan, now a WWE producer, plays a key behind-the-scenes role and often helps lay out Gable's matches. 'I get the biggest smile on my face anytime I see I'm working with him on a Monday,' Gable said. 'Everybody does, to be fair. If anybody gets to work with Jason, they are over the moon because he is so good.' Gable and Jordan were part of the tag team American Alpha, a fan-favorite duo known for their strong chemistry and technical wrestling. Even though Jordan had to retire early due to injury, their bond remains intact. 'With me, especially, we could do our whole work together and never speak a word,' Gable said. 'We were like brothers when we were a tag team. It was something that was for sure meant to be.' As Chad Gable continues to evolve both in-ring and through alter-egos like El Grande Americano, his connection to WWE's roots - both in friendship and performance, remains stronger than ever. And perhaps, next year, he'll finally get that WrestleMania spotlight - no mask required.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Unlike some second-generation athletes who are not always afforded the privilege of utilizing their family's name, Charlotte has proudly carried the Flair legacy in WWE, forging her own path to becoming one of the most decorated and celebrated female wrestlers in the industry. Flair has come a long way and distanced herself from just being the daughter of the legendary pro wrestler. Her remarkable achievements include capturing a combined 14 Women's Championships across various WWE brands, solidifying her position in the business. In a conversation on The Ringer Wrestling Show, Charlotte delved into the genesis of her in-ring name, revealing that her initial preference leaned towards a different name altogether. She explained her original pitch, stating, "I pitched, because I love Miss Elizabeth, I pitched Elizabeth. Elizabeth Reid was one because of my brother."

This name, "Elizabeth Reid," served as a heartfelt tribute to the beloved Miss Elizabeth, a legendary figure in wrestling history. It was also done to incorporate her late brother, Reid Flair. However, the powers that be in WWE ultimately settled on "Charlotte." Reflecting on this decision, Flair offered a unique perspective, suggesting a less sentimental origin.

Flair believes the connection to her father's wrestling roots played a more significant role in the final decision. Her recent victory in the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble marked a historic moment, as she became the first woman to win the prestigious match twice, having also achieved this feat in 2020. This triumph earned her an opportunity to challenge for a women's world championship at WrestleMania 41. At the event, she faced Stratton for the WWE Women's Championship, although she was ultimately unsuccessful in her bid for the title. It's unclear what WWE has planned next.
