El Grande Americano Announces Big News Ahead of WWE RAW
WWE’s El Grande Americano persona of Chad Gable launches X account despite backlash over Dragon Lee mask removal, as company doubles down on the character.
The wrestling world has a new social media presence to keep an eye on as Chad Gable’s patriotic alter ego has officially staked his claim in the digital landscape. WWE confirmed that El Grande Americano has launched his own X account just hours before the March 31, 2025, episode of RAW, signaling the company’s commitment to this new character direction despite growing criticism.
WWE made the announcement by retweeting El Grande Americano’s debut post – a straightforward image showing the character posing confidently on the second turnbuckle in his red, white, and blue attire. The account launch comes at a strategic time as WWE continues pushing forward with this controversial new persona that has already generated significant heat from wrestling fans and industry insiders alike.
The backlash against El Grande Americano intensified following his debut match on the March 24 RAW episode where he defeated Dragon Lee and proceeded to remove the luchador’s mask. This action struck a nerve with the lucha libre community, where mask removal is treated with tremendous significance. As reported on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, WrestleVotes noted:
They may have shown praise backstage, but the Lucha community in Mexico is p***** off. It’s like mocking their religion.

Despite the negative reaction from traditional wrestling circles, WWE appears to be doubling down on the character by expanding his presence across multiple platforms. With merchandise already in production and prominent television time allocated, the social media launch represents another sign that WWE remains fully committed to El Grande Americano heading into tonight’s show and beyond, regardless of the controversy surrounding his introduction to the WWE Universe.
