Rey Fenix vs El Grande Americano
And we move things on with Rey Fenix taking on Chad Gab… I mean El Grande Americano.
Reminding you that – ehm – luchadore was initially supposed to face Rey Mysterio.
But Mysterio appears to have suffered a legit leg injury last night on SmackDown that has put him on the shelf.
And instead, the WWE Hall of Famer chose Fenix as his replacement, even though the ex-AEW star has only competed three times after his debut in the company.
