Ludwig Kaiser, portraying El Grande Americano, released a new bilingual promo on WWE social media targeting the Intercontinental Championship ladder match at WrestleMania 42, calling the bout “an absolute disgrace” without his involvement.

The promo began in Spanish before Kaiser switched to English to address a wider audience. “I gotta speak English because a lot of gringos don’t understand, but I want to tell you that all those luchadores are going to compete at WrestleMania. But the greatest one, the biggest legend, El Grande Americano, is not,” he said.

El Grande Americano then listed the competitors in the match while Tyler Bate, appearing as Rayo Americano, mocked each name. When Penta was mentioned, Rayo responded, “es un fan de Chaparro.” Dragon Lee was dismissed as “chiquito,” while Je’Von Evans drew the remark “no cultura.”

Kaiser continued by criticizing the match itself, repeating that it lacked credibility without him. “An absolute disgrace,” he said, before adding that someone should take action. Rayo backed him up with “A huevo.” The segment ended with Kaiser stating, “vamos a pensar,” as the duo walked off.

The lineup for the Intercontinental Championship ladder match includes Penta defending against Dragon Lee, JD McDonagh, Je’Von Evans, and Rusev. Los Americanos — featuring Kaiser, Bate, and Pete Dunne as Bravo Americano — have not been officially added to the match.

The promo appears to hint at a possible late change or interference at WrestleMania. The group has been feuding with the original El Grande Americano, Chad Gable, since his return at the 2026 Royal Rumble. Their rivalry has played out across multiple promotions, adding another layer to the ongoing storyline.

With WrestleMania 42 approaching, the comments from El Grande Americano suggest that the Intercontinental Championship match may not remain unchanged.
