Chad Gable injury update news has intensified after it was revealed that the WWE star’s undisclosed ailment is more serious than expected, with sources now confirming he requires surgery and no definite timetable set for his return. Gable was attacked by Penta during a backstage segment on WWE RAW, and the incident now appears to be part of a storyline adjustment due to his real physical setback.
Attack on RAW Highlights Concern Over Gable’s Health
Earlier reports from Cory Hays at Bodyslam.net indicated that Chad Gable was dealing with an undisclosed injury that had begun to affect his ongoing participation in WWE programming. The situation escalated on this week’s episode of RAW, when Gable engaged with Penta backstage moments after Penta’s match with Bron Breakker.
During their confrontation, Gable, joined by Ivy Nile, teased Penta about his bout, provoking him with repeated chest jabs. Penta responded aggressively, delivering a superkick and snapping Gable’s left arm while declaring, “I told you, Cero Miedo.” This attack on RAW served both as a dramatic plot point and a way for WWE to explain Gable’s imminent break from television action.

Penta’s takeover in the segment enabled WWE to either write Gable off television or scale down his in-ring duties, depending on the extent of his recovery needs.
Surgery Announced, Return Date Remains Uncertain
PWInsider.com has since confirmed that Gable will undergo surgery for his latest injury, with the procedure scheduled for early July. Despite confirmation of surgery, details regarding the injury itself remain undisclosed, and WWE has not provided an official estimate for Gable’s return to the ring or to televised events.
Fightful Select also reported that another WWE persona, El Grande Americano, suffered a comparable injury. Sources noted that this is a coincidence and not an indication of a wider issue affecting multiple athletes in the same manner.
Recent Matches Shed Light on Timeline
Gable’s most recent performance under his own name in WWE saw him lose to AJ Styles during the June 9 episode of RAW, while El Grande Americano’s last match was a Speed Championship victory over Berto on June 18. These appearances now mark the last time either competitor was seen competing before their respective injuries halted their activities.
Cory Hays, Fightful, and PWInsider.com are all closely monitoring Gable’s recovery process, but the uncertainty surrounding his return adds concern for fans and WWE storylines alike. The unforeseen nature of his injury means revised plans for upcoming events and increased interest in how the situation will evolve for both Gable and the organization moving forward.
