Former WWE star Killer Kross has described a recent mask versus mask bout between El Grande Americano and OG Americano as an ideal showcase for newcomers to the sport.
Speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, Kross called the match between Ludwig Kaiser and Chad Gable the full menu of wrestling elements. He highlighted its technical work, drama, weapons, and finish as reasons it could hook non-fans, comparing it favorably to classic bouts like Roddy Piper versus Bret Hart. Kaiser defeated Gable in the match, resulting in Gable being unmasked. Kross said the stipulation and story made it suitable to introduce viewers who do not watch wrestling. The comments came during an interview published on June 10, 2026, where Kross also discussed his time learning backstage in WWE.
