WWE star Chad Gable has had surgery to address an ongoing shoulder injury, confirming recent concerns about his health. The highly anticipated Chad Gable shoulder surgery update follows an eventful few weeks where his absence from the ring was explained both on television and through official WWE updates.
Reports last week indicated that Gable was dealing with a legitimate shoulder issue, which required surgical intervention. In a storyline that aired on the June 23 episode of Raw, fellow Superstar Penta was scripted to injure Gable’s arm to align with real-life events. The following week, Gable appeared on Raw with his arm in a sling and spoke directly to the WWE audience, confirming the need for surgery.
