WWE Raw star Chad Gable will be off television for a while. According to a report from PWInsiderElite.com, Gable is slated for surgery in early July to deal with an undisclosed injury.
This news provides more clarity on the situation after Gable was written out of storylines on this past Monday’s Raw. During that show, Gable was attacked backstage by Penta, an angle that was reportedly done to accommodate Gable’s injury. An earlier report from BodySlam.net had noted that the injury was significant enough to require a change in creative plans.
The word making its way around talent yesterday was about the upcoming surgery. As of now, the exact nature of the injury and a potential timeline for Gable’s return to action have not been confirmed.
The injury comes at a time when Gable has been heavily featured on Raw, continuing his heel persona as the “coach” of the Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile, and also performing as the masked El Grande Americano. We wish him a speedy recovery.
