The latest Chad Gable shoulder surgery update reveals that the WWE wrestler has undergone a successful shoulder procedure, with recovery potentially keeping him out of action for as long as six months. Gable, the leader of The American Made group, was taken off Raw television after a storyline assault by Penta on June 23, which coincided with real-life injury concerns he had been managing for some time.
While recovering in his hospital bed, Gable shared a video with fans, stating,
“What’s up dudes? I made it”
—Chad Gable, WWE Superstar. In the same update, he humorously referenced his El Grande Americano persona, writing,
“I’ll be back quicker than you can say GRACIAS!”
—Chad Gable, WWE Superstar. However, WWE has not established a definitive date for Gable’s in-ring return.
El Grande Americano’s WWE Speed Championship Uncertainty
As of now, Gable, under the mask of El Grande Americano, holds the WWE Speed Champion title, having won it from Dragon Lee on May 5. With his injury and the indefinite timeline for a comeback, fans are left wondering if the luchador might have to relinquish his championship due to the extended absence.
Complicating the situation, the June 30 episode of Raw featured the unexpected return of El Grande Americano—but this time, Ludwig Kaiser assumed the role, creating confusion about the future of the character and the championship while Gable recovers.
Implications for WWE and Gable’s Comeback
The uncertainty surrounding Chad Gable’s medical recovery and the storyline developments on WWE television have generated significant speculation. With the ambiguous status of the WWE Speed Champion and the temporary switch in portrayal of El Grande Americano, fans, as well as the promotion, await further updates regarding Gable’s recovery and potential title decisions. The situation remains fluid as WWE adapts its plans, while Gable focuses on returning to action as quickly as possible.
