Pro wrestling has often borrowed from pop culture, but last night’s WWE Raw pushed that tradition to a new, self-referential level. A chaotic sequence during a singles bout unexpectedly delivered a direct nod to one of the internet’s most recognizable memes.
The scene unfolded in the match between El Grande Americano and Dragon Lee. Midway through, two additional wrestlers dressed as El Grande Americano stormed the ring, throwing the contest into disarray. The confusion escalated until AJ Styles intervened, sparking a wild brawl.
When order was finally restored, the three masked versions of El Grande Americano remained in the ring. Rather than celebrating, they stood side by side, glaring at one another before simultaneously pointing, mirroring the famous Spider-Man pointing meme from the 1967 animated series.
The reference was immediately recognized by the crowd and amplified online, as fans flooded social media to highlight the segment. Within minutes, the parody was circulating widely, marking the moment as one of the night’s standout viral highlights.
