AAA Mask-For-Mask Feud Escalates With Unmask Clause and Post-Signing Attack

An automatic unmasking for any pre-match fight raises the stakes for the May 30 bout.

Overview

  • The contract segment closed AAA’s latest FOX broadcast from Querétaro and set a May 30 mask-versus-mask match between the Original El Grande Americano (Chad Gable) and El Grande Americano 2 (Ludwig Kaiser).
  • Gable added a rare term that any physical contact before the opening bell would cost Kaiser his mask on the spot.
  • He also pushed to remove backstage interviewer Andrea Bazarte from AAA, and she answered on air by backing Kaiser and urging him to take Gable’s mask.
  • Moments after the signing, the Creed Brothers jumped Kaiser and drove him through a table, before Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano ran in to help.
  • AAA is amplifying the angle across WWE and AAA YouTube streams and FOX channels, reflecting how a mask-versus-mask match can redefine a luchador’s career because losing the mask means revealing one’s identity.
