The newly formed Perros del Mal faction attacked El Grande Americano during a AAA broadcast on June 20, 2026 [1].
This assault signals the official return of the destructive Perros del Mal brand to AAA, establishing a new antagonist group to challenge top stars. The ambush creates a new primary conflict for El Grande Americano, played by Ludwig Kaiser, as he navigates the promotion's landscape.
The attack occurred during a show aired on FOX and was filmed live in Monterrey, Mexico [1], [3]. The group consists of five members: Daga, Karmen Petrovic, Bronco Nima, Angel, and Berto [1], [2]. Together, they launched a surprise on-screen assault against the wrestler [1].
This scripted event follows a period of high tension for the character. On May 30, 2026, El Grande Americano participated in a mask-vs-mask match [4]. The current storyline uses the ambush to build momentum following that high-stakes encounter and to introduce the faction's destructive goals within the company [1].
While some coverage identifies the current version of the character as Ludwig Kaiser [1], other reports have noted a distinction between him and an original version of the persona [1]. Regardless of the identity conflict, the Perros del Mal group has positioned El Grande Americano as their primary target in the wake of the Monterrey event [1], [2].
