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.

WWE Star Provides Major Injury Update After Being Knocked Unconscious
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. WWE Superstar Joaquin Wilde has reassured WWE fans that he is "good, no worries" after a concerning incident where he was knocked out cold during a WWE Speed match taping. The LWO member was wrestling Lexis King in a match taped before the June 2, 2025, episode of Raw when the knockout occurred. Fan footage from the taping showed Wilde down and receiving attention from WWE's medical staff, with the match being stopped. Wilde later took to social media to address the situation directly with his followers. Joaquin Wilde seems to have gone down to an injury during his #WWESpeed match before #WWERaw Wishing him a speedy recovery 🙏 — Wrestling Pics & Clips (@WrestleClips) June 2, 2025 "Never been knocked out cold before. So a lot to process right now," Wilde wrote. "But I'm good, no worries." This update is a positive sign, especially considering his upcoming commitments. Wilde, an accomplished talent long before joining WWE, made a name for himself in TNA/Impact Wrestling as Zema Ion and later DJZ. During his tenure there, he captured the X Division Championship on two occasions and was also a former Impact World Tag Team Champion. He signed with WWE in 2019, initially competing on 205 Live and NXT. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation In NXT, Wilde became a foundational member of the popular Legado Del Fantasma faction alongside Santos Escobar, Cruz Del Toro, and initially, Elektra Lopez. The group had a successful run in NXT before being called up to SmackDown in 2022.

Alex BierensOn SmackDown, Legado Del Fantasma eventually aligned with the returning Rey Mysterio to form the new Latino World Order (LWO), feuding with groups like The Judgment Day. Recently, Wilde and his tag team partner, Cruz Del Tor,o have seen somewhat sporadic usage on main roster programming. Their last major appearance prior to this week was in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on SmackDown during WrestleMania 41 weekend in April. The LWO has also been impacted by Rey Mysterio being out of action since that same period due to a groin injury. Never been knocked out cold before. So alot to process right now. But im good no worries. — Joaquin Wilde (@joaquinwilde_) June 3, 2025 Despite this recent scare, Wilde is currently scheduled to team with fellow LWO members Cruz Del Toro and Dragon Lee to face AAA's Octagon Jr., Aero Star, and Mr. Iguana at the WWE x AAA Worlds Collide special event this Saturday, June 7th. His confirmation that he is "good" suggests he is expected to be ready for that inter-promotional trios match. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

X Looks to Expand its Video Push With ‘X Originals'
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. X is looking to sign-up more original content, as part of its expanded video push, with the launch of a new 'X Originals' moniker for its expanding slate of programming. As explained by X: 'Over the last year, we've released a slate of premium content series, together with some of the internet's top talent […] We've already released 17 shows with over 300 episodes across the US, Japan, and MENA, and we're just getting started - continuing to build premium original content series for X's most popular communities like sports, pop culture, business & finance, and more. Nowhere else can you watch a new series with your favorite creators AND talk to them immediately below the episode.' Which has always been the allure and appeal of X (and Twitter), that it's the top host of TV show discussion online, and if there was some way that you could integrate the two, combining content consumption alongside all that real-time chatter, the platform could become an entertainment powerhouse. 'Could' being the operative word. Previous Twitter management tried out many ways to merge the two behaviors, even signing expensive hosting rights deals with the MLB, NFL and NBA to broadcast games directly in the app. Given that sports is the most discussed topic segment in the app, and live sports, in particular, drive huge engagement, an integrated Twitter/TV offering seemed to make sense, bringing the top tweets and posts right to the same screen, so more users could view and interact with the expanded discussion, But it didn't work. For some reason, users prefer to use Twitter/X as a second screen, while viewing sports on another surface (or in person). Twitter also tried the same with TV shows and exclusive video content, to limited success. But X believes that it now sees a new path to entertainment dominance, though it's exclusive content slate, at this stage, remains limited. Over the first year of its video content push, X has signed deals with and/or hosted exclusive video content from: Khloe Kardashian on her 'Khloe in Wonderland' interview show Anthony Pompliano for his business-focused program 'From the Desk of Anthony Pompliano' Paris Hilton, on a yet-to-be-announced project (which now seems to have been dumped) Tucker Carlson, whose interviews had been generating millions of views in the app (before he migrated to his own platform) Don Lemon, whose X show was canceled after he interviewed Elon Musk Tulsi Gabbard, who had been developing a series of documentary-style programs focused on U.S. politics (now seemingly dumped) Jim Rome who's still airing his show 'The Jungle' in the app WWE, which is airing a weekly 'WWE Speed' show in the app The Big 3 league of retired NBA players, which aired weekly games in the app during its most recent season Rap battle show Verzuz, which is looking to make a comeback on X Investment-based show 'Going Public' (still airing on X) Football docu-series 'The Offseason' NHL's '4 Nations' tournament Athlos athletic events Special docu-series 'The Art of the Surge' focusing on Trump's re-election, and 'All-In with the Boston Celtics' That's not bad, I guess, in terms of expanded original programming. But 15 or so shows is also not going to make X a serious player in this space, especially with every other platform offering more incentives for creators to share their content exclusively in their apps, which have even bigger audience reach. In this sense, X remains a niche offering, and with its overall audience reach in decline, not an overly appealing one for those looking to build their online media foundations. But again, X does host a lot of related discussion, and it's hopeful that those additional community engagement benefits will be of interest to more content creators moving forward. Which will then enable it to build out its X Originals slate, though how X sees itself as a 'video first' platform at this stage is still unclear. X is not a video-first platform. TikTok is, as is YouTube, and both Instagram and Snapchat are inching ever-closer to being video-first in their own ways. X isn't. The app doesn't open to a video feed, and only offers video as a secondary element, that users have to actively seek out. Which will always impede its expansion on this front, and I don't really see how X has done much to shift user attention towards video, other than adding a video tab, and proclaiming that it's now a 'video first' business. Sure, video views in the app are increasing, but some of that comes down to how X is measuring video 'views,' along with broader online posting and consumption trends. Given this, I'm not sure X's Originals are going to see any significant expansion, unless X spends a lot of money to do so. And as noted, that hasn't worked in the past, so I'm not entirely sure why X thinks it can make it happen with this effort. But maybe, with X CEO Linda Yaccarino's experience and connections, based on her years of working NBCUniversal, it has some more tricks up its sleeve on this front.
