WWE Raw Star Says The Undertaker & Jeremy Borash Helped Him To Cut Loose & Find Himself During AAA Run

WWE

Chad Gable has reflected on his time in AAA as the Original El Grande Americano, explaining how The Undertaker and Jeremy Borash helped him.

Chad Gable challenging for Penta’s Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam will be a full-circle moment for Gable, and not just because the event will take place in his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Gable’s loss to Penta in the latter star’s WWE debut match in January 2025 marked the start of the storyline which led to Gable creating the original El Grande Americano moniker in an effort to take down lucha libre.

After a heel run in AAA in Mexico, Chad Gable was unmasked following his Mask vs Mask loss to the current El Grande Americano at Noche De Los Grandes, and has since returned to Raw having earned the respect of the Mexican fans.

Speaking on ESPN SportsCenter, Gable noted that AAA creative team members The Undertaker and Jeremy Borash really helped him to cut loose and find himself during his stint with that brand.

Chad Gable said:

“That entire experience was the most freeing thing I’ve ever done in my career. Undertaker helped me really cut loose down there.  Jeremy Borash helped me cut loose and find myself.

“Just embracing the Mexican culture, the Mexican people, the spirit down there of their fans, and just the lucha libre, crowd, the audience and the whole aura, it set me free, man.

“Now you’re getting the best version of Chad Gable because of that experience.”
