Chad Gable is set to undergo surgery for a recent injury that will keep him out of action for an indefinite period, marking a significant setback for the wrestler. However, amidst this unfortunate news, the character El Grande Americano is gaining momentum. In a recent episode of WWE RAW, El Grande Americano, portrayed by Ludwig Kaiser, made a notable appearance alongside American Made, suggesting that Kaiser will continue to defend the WWE Speed Championship under this vibrant new persona.
On another front, WWE is grappling with legal challenges as Vince McMahon and the organization formally opposed Janel Grant’s request for internal records tied to her lawsuit against them. Grant is seeking access to communications and documents that she believes are essential to her argument against the enforceability of the arbitration clause in her Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with McMahon. In their legal response filed recently, WWE’s legal team argued that Grant has not met the required legal standards for discovery and called her request an “improper fishing expedition.”
WWE’s attorneys emphasized that Grant is not entitled to the discovery she seeks and maintained that her allegations do not sufficiently challenge the validity of the arbitration provision. In contrast, Grant’s legal team criticized WWE’s opposition, calling for transparency and asserting that if the organization has nothing to conceal, it should willingly comply with the discovery requests.
The unfolding situation highlights both the dynamic nature of WWE storylines and the ongoing complexities of legal battles for those involved with the wrestling promotion. Fans will be eager to see how El Grande Americano’s rise impacts the WWE landscape and how the legal proceedings will develop in the coming weeks. It’s a reminder that in the world of wrestling, both in and out of the ring, there are always new challenges and unexpected turns on the horizon.
