Chad Gable appears ready for a return to the ring. The Monday Night Raw superstar recently shared clips on social media showcasing his workout routine, revealing a shredded physique that suggests he is in the best shape of his career.
Gable is expected to return to WWE television soon. The footage of his intense training sessions aligns with word that he has been preparing for his comeback following a months-long hiatus.
Hiatus and “El Grande Americano”
Gable has been absent from programming due to a shoulder injury. Prior to his departure, he was positioned for a significant character shift involving the “El Grande Americano” persona.
During his absence, that gimmick was effectively co-opted by Ludwig Kaiser. Kaiser has since adopted the “El Grande Americano” moniker for himself, replacing Gable in the role and claiming the identity as his own.
While Gable’s physical condition indicates he is cleared for action, WWE has not confirmed his creative direction upon returning. It remains unclear if he will feud with Kaiser to reclaim the “El Grande Americano” title or if the company intends to pivot him toward a completely new storyline.
As you can see below, Gable looks ready to get back in action and it appears that his return to WWE Raw is imminent.
