Fresh off capturing the AAA Mega Championship at TripleMania 34, El Grande Americano made a surprise appearance on the September 14 episode of WWE Raw and teamed with Stephanie Vaquer in a mixed tag that ended in a disqualification after interference from The Judgment Day.
El Grande Americano appeared on the Sept. 14 Raw in Mexico City right after winning the AAA Mega Championship at TripleMania 34.
He replaced an injured Rey Mysterio to team with Stephanie Vaquer against Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan.
This was El Grande Americano’s first Raw match since May 18, when he teamed with Rayo and Bravo to win a six-man tag match.
# What happened on Raw El Grande Americano returned to WWE Raw on the September 14 episode in Mexico City, arriving directly after he won the AAA Mega Championship at TripleMania 34. The appearance followed an opening segment that set up a mixed tag team match involving members of the Mysterio family and Stephanie Vaquer.
# How he was introduced Rey Mysterio had been scheduled to celebrate with Vaquer, but Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan interrupted the celebration. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce said Rey could not compete because of a storyline neck injury. Pearce then introduced El Grande Americano as Vaquer's replacement, and the crowd reaction was described as massive.
# The match and the finish Americano and Vaquer faced Dominik and Morgan. As the match reached its climax, members of The Judgment Day intervened. Their interference stopped what appeared to be a near-finish for Americano and Vaquer and led to a disqualification. Officially, Americano and Vaquer were awarded the victory, but Dominik and Morgan were portrayed as standing tall after the outside interference.

# Visual and crowd reaction Coverage noted a significant crowd ovation for Americano when he was revealed as Vaquer's partner. WWE's official channels posted at least one image or clip of the reaction, reinforcing that the Mexico City audience responded strongly to the new AAA Mega Champion.
