Chad Gable has been struggling with a “luchador” problem for months. First, he suffered humiliation when a debuting Penta defeated him. Now, he’s failing to take out LWO members Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee. Determined to find a solution to this lucha challenge, Gable’s story has taken an intriguing turn.
On the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee faced The New Day. Just as the former NXT North American Champion was gaining momentum, an unknown luchador wearing a custom-made American mask and a black hoodie attacked them both. This interference ultimately allowed Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to secure the victory.
After losing to Penta on the January 13th episode of Raw, a frustrated Chad Gable decided to explore the dark arts of Lucha Libre. Seeking guidance, he turned to Dominik Mysterio, who provided him with a contact. Additionally, last week, the American Made leader received a mysterious box, leading many to speculate that it contained a mask—one he may have worn on Raw.
The most intriguing part of the angle was that Gable outright denied being the man behind the luchador mask. While interviewer Cathy Kelley and many fans were skeptical, they were all proven wrong when security was seen escorting another masked man in the background. Only time will tell who was really behind the mask.
Could Rey Fenix be the mystery luchador behind the mask?
The WWE Universe was convinced that Chad Gable was the masked attacker who ambushed Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio. However, after security escorted a different masked man out of the building, confusion spread among wrestling fans. While some believed it was just mind games from the former tag team champion, others speculated it could be someone else.
Many believe that the masked attacker could be former AEW star Rey Fenix. He is the high-flying luchador and brother of Raw superstar Penta. The duo had hoped to reunite as a tag team in WWE. However, Fenix was still under contract and recovering from an injury in the Jacksonville-based company. Now, according to recent reports, the former AEW Tag Team Champion has been removed from AEW’s roster, fueling speculation that he was behind the attack.
While some fans believed the rumor, others remained skeptical, suggesting that Fenix would debut after WrestleMania as Penta’s tag team partner. It’s safe to say that the new storyline involving Gable has certainly captured the interest of the WWE Universe.
