WWE Chad Gable's injury Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images. Gable's injury has not been revealed. It appears serious enough that WWE had to write his character off TV for a while. We will see when he is able to come back. Advertisement He is the reigning Speed Champion, beating Dragon Lee for it in May 2025 as El Grande Americano. It is unknown if he will have to vacate it or not. Gable and Penta have been feuding for months. The latter Superstar debuted his January 2025 against Gable, beating him. This kickstarted their feud, and Gable eventually became El Grande Americano as a result of his losses to luchadors. He has been a workhorse for the company, playing two characters. Gable pulled double-duty during the June 7 weekend, first wrestling as Gable against El Hijo del Vikingo at Worlds Collide before competing in the Men's Money in the Bank later that night as Americano. Throughout his career, Gable has won the NXT Tag Team Championship and SmackDown Tag Team Championship with Jason Jordon.

WWE star makes bold return promise after surgery for injury
The post WWE star makes bold return promise after surgery for injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. After undergoing surgery, WWE star Chad Gable is on the road to return from his recent injury, and he posted an update for fans on social media. Advertisement He took to Instagram to share an update for his fans. Gable promised he would'be back quicker than you can say GRACIAS!' a reference to his El Grande Americano character. In the video, he is shown waking up in his hospital bed. 'What's up, dudes?' he groggily says. 'I made it, and Rambo is on TV. Look at that. Sly [Stallone] looks awesome in this movie.' The picture he posted shows him putting up his signature peace sign. Gable appears to be in high spirits following the surgery for the injury. The comments were flooded by responses from current and past WWE stars. Former WWE star and current AEW wrestler Bobby Lashley said, 'Prayers for a speedy recovery bro,' while Natalya said, 'Thank you for always putting your body on the line for our entertainment- A true f*****g workhorse.' When will Chad Gable return to WWE from his injury? It is unclear when Gable will return from his undisclosed injury. The nature of it is unclear, but it was serious enough to require surgery. Advertisement Hopefully, all goes well on his road to recovery. Gable was having the run of his career, playing two characters in WWE. The second, El Grande Americano, has seemingly been taken over by Ludwig Kaiser. The role has caused Gable to have to wrestle more frequently. He had a busy Money in the Bank weekend, as he competed at Worlds Collide as Gable before taking part in the event's namesake ladder match as Americano. Gable was written off TV during the June 23, 2025, edition of Monday Night RAW. He had a backstage confrontation with Penta, who injured his arm by putting him in a submission hold. More than likely, Gable will miss most of the summer season. It appears unlikely he will recover in time for the first-ever two-night SummerSlam on August 2 and 3. Advertisement Currently, Gable is the WWE Speed Champion as Americano. It is unclear if it will be vacated or if Kaiser will continue his reign as Speed Champion in Gable's absence. He is also the leader of the American Made faction, which also includes the Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus) and Ivy Nile. They have been together since July 2024, shortly after Gable left Alpha Academy.

WWE star Chad Gable injured ahead of Night of Champions, could miss rest of the year
Jun 28, 2025 02:54 PM IST WWE champion Chad Gable has been injured, as revealed by multiple sources on Wednesday (June 25). The injury comes ahead of the upcoming Night of Champions tournament in Riyadh. Pro W Finesse announced the same via a social media post which read, 'Chad Gable being injured genuinely sucks. He has been the ultimate workhorse 💔' WWE champion Chad Gable suffered an injury.(X) How long will Gable be out? Gable had received an undisclosed injury recently due to which he had been written off WWE TV as well. During Monday's episode of WWE Raw, Penta brutally attacked Gable backstage during which his arm snapped off- an instance that PWInsider Elite is now reporting as a deliberate measure to write him off the show due to his sustained injury. What was being kept a secret three days back is now in the open as Gable is scheduled to go for surgery sometime in early July. No update was provided on when fans can expect to see him back in the squared ring but due to the extent of his injury, he is being ruled out of the company at least for the rest of this year. This development has squashed all the hard work and effort invested by the 39-year-old player who must now wait for the medical go-ahead before resuming past activities. Before news of his injury broke, he had come off from an occupied weekend in Los Angeles, California where he wrestled El Hijo del Vikingo in the main event of WWE Worlds Collide. Later in the day, Gable also competed in the Men's Money in the Bank Match as his alter ego El Grande Americano. He currently holds the WWE Speed title and was last seen in action against AJ Styles on 'Raw'. The 2025 WWE Night of Champions is scheduled to take place on Saturday (June 28). Fans can stream the event live on Peacock at 1 PM ET.

Injury To WWE Star Causes Big Match To Be Cancelled
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An injury to Chad Gable has forced WWE to scrap plans for a unique match at SummerSlam. The company will present its first-ever two-night SummerSlam event in just over a month. Gable was recently written out of storylines on Monday Night Raw due to a legitimate injury. He is reportedly set to undergo surgery for the issue in early July. Scrapped WWE SummerSlam Plans According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE had plans for a major gimmick match between Chad Gable and Penta El Zero Miedo. The bout was scheduled for SummerSlam. The plan was for a Mask vs. Mask match. It would have featured Penta against Gable's suspected masked alter-ego, El Grande Americano. The report notes that this match will no longer be happening. The on-screen angle where Penta attacked Gable backstage was used as the blow-off to their rivalry for now.

PHILIPPE HUGUEN/AFP/Getty Images More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation Injury Forces WWE Creative Change Gable reportedly learned recently that he needed shoulder surgery. This forced WWE officials to change creative direction immediately. The future of the WWE Speed Championship, which Gable currently holds, is now uncertain. A tournament to crown a new champion is considered a likely outcome. Penta El Zero Miedo arrived in WWE in January of this year and has been heavily featured in a storyline with Gable. On the most recent episode of Raw, Penta suffered a loss to Bron Breakker. Gable's WWE career has been defined by tag team excellence across all brands. He first gained prominence in NXT, forming the acclaimed tag team American Alpha with Jason Jordan and capturing the NXT Tag Team Championship. On the main roster, he won the SmackDown Tag Team title with Jordan, and later the Raw Tag Team titles with both Bobby Roode and Otis, making him a Triple Crown Tag Team Champion. After a poorly received run as "Shorty G," he reinvented himself as the leader of the Alpha Academy. More recently, he became the inaugural WWE Speed Champion under the masked persona of El Grande Americano and received critical acclaim for his Intercontinental title matches against GUNTHER, which led to his current heel character. We wish Chad Gable a speedy recovery. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
