The Undertaker Explains His Role In Original El Grande Americano Vs. El Grande Americano Match

The Undertaker explains his role in the Original El Grande Americano vs. El Grande Americano match.

One of the most popular storylines recently in AAA was the rivalry between the two El Grande Americanos. They had a mask vs. mask match at AAA Noche De Los Grandes, where Chad Gable was revealed as the Original El Grande Americano.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet recently at Fanatics Fest, The Undertaker, who is part of AAA’s creative team, was asked about his role in their match.

“Myself and Jeremy Borash had this idea, but El Grande and Chad Gable man, they took the thought and the idea, and they really took it to a whole different level. There were some highly motivating speeches that I gave both of them before they would go out. I don’t know how [to say it], there’s a bunch of kids here. No, I would reiterate to them how important what they’re about to go out and do is not only for AAA, but for their own personal careers. Trying to motivate them to do things differently and be more edgy, more aggressive, more violent, right? It took a while for that to set in, and for them to see my vision.”

Undertaker then explained the vision he has for AAA.

“My vision is, I want us to put out a product that is completely different from NXT, it’s completely different from SmackDown or Raw. I want it to be different from every other wrestling. That starts with storytelling, athleticism, and aggression. It’s a process, and everybody’s starting to buy into it and realizing that what we’re doing down there, it’s got the attention of the wrestling community.”

Elsewhere in the interview, The Phenom discussed his retirement and how he is working more than he did in the past decade. Fans can read the full comments here.
