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.

New nWo? Hulk Hogan, Bischoff hint at wrestling return with secret third man
Pro wrestling legends Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff are back in the spotlight after dropping a cryptic black-and-white promo that instantly sparked nWo nostalgia and fan buzz. Released Monday, the video mirrors the classic New World Order vignettes that helped transform wrestling in the late 1990s, and teases the return of a major third figure. Hogan kicks off the teaser by declaring, 'Why so serious? Because you know who I am,' immediately channeling his infamous heel persona. Bischoff follows up with a dramatic tone: 'But you don't know why he's here… Hulkster, we are so back.' The duo alludes to shaking up the wrestling world again, just like they did nearly 30 years ago with the formation of the original nWo. They repeatedly hint at a 'third man,' drawing direct comparisons to the moment Hogan shocked the world by turning heel in 1996. 'You're not going to know what hit you,' Hogan warns, while Bischoff tantalizes fans by saying, 'Should we talk about his credentials? No. Not yet… but stay tuned.' According to PWInsider Elite, while speculation suggests this could be the start of a new wrestling venture, no official moves or talent approaches have been confirmed. Sources indicate full details could emerge by the end of this week. With Hogan calling the mystery figure 'a real, real badass,' and Bischoff promising something that will 'rock your world,' fans are left to wonder: is this a nostalgia act or a legit industry disruption? We'll be watching closely as this nWo-style tease continues to unfold.

Backstage news on Randy Orton's Wrestlemania 41 plans
Randy Orton is reportedly set to return to WWE in time for WrestleMania 41, following a prolonged absence due to injury. According to PWInsider Elite, WWE officials expect Orton to be back in March, aligning with the company's "Road to WrestleMania" European tour. Orton has been out of action since November after sustaining a cervical cord neurapraxia, following a piledriver from Kevin Owens. WWE later confirmed the injury, which has kept "The Viper" away from the ring. If he returns as planned, Orton will compete at WrestleMania 41, marking his 19th appearance at WWE's biggest annual event. This would further cement his place behind Triple H (23 appearances) and The Undertaker (27 appearances) in all-time WrestleMania matches. PWInsider reports that a potential match against Kevin Owens is the current plan for Randy Orton at Wrestlemania 41. Owens, who is currently set to compete in an unsanctioned match against Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber, previously shared an alliance with Orton heading into WrestleMania 40. The two helped Cody Rhodes combat The Bloodline, but Owens later turned on Orton at Bash in Berlin, leading to Orton's injury. Orton has only missed two WrestleMania events since his debut at WrestleMania 20 in 2004, sitting out in 2016 and 2023. If he makes his return as expected, he will once again be part of WWE's marquee event, continuing his legacy as one of the company's top superstars. WrestleMania 41 is scheduled for 19-20 April in Las Vegas, Nevada, and with Orton's potential return, anticipation continues to build for the event.
