WWE fans are in for a shock - Not Chad Gable, someone else is behind the El Grande Americano mask
El Grande Americano (Image Credit - WWE) During the June 30th episode of WWE RAW, it was revealed that wrestler Chad Gable is scheduled for surgery due to a recent injury. Rumors of him being injured and taking a break have been ongoing for quite some time now. And with Gable gone, with the surgery putting him out of action for quite some time in the future, fans also thought that another wrestling character - El Grande Americano - who is yet to take off his mask on camera, will be out as well. But that does not seem to be the case. Chad Gable is absent, but El Grande Americano is not After the recent announcement about Chad Gable on the latest RAW episode, fans believed that his taking time off meant that El Grande Americano would also be absent from the ringside.

This blew the minds of WWE fans, who until now, were fully convinced that Chad Gable and Americano are one and the same. — WrestleOps (@WrestleOps) It seems like in Chad Gable's absence, who until now was using the El Grande Americano mask, another wrestler, who was seen lurking about in recent backstage segments, will be taking over the duties of the current WWE Speed Championship, and continue to defend the title.

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.
