Following a surprising attack on WWE RAW, Chad Gable joins other superstars on the injury list and is set to undergo shoulder surgery in July, raising pressing questions about the future of American Made. This Chad Gable WWE injury update has intensified speculation about who will fill his role, with hints that Ludwig Kaiser could step in as El Grande Americano.
Gable’s Attack and Upcoming Surgery Shake Up WWE Plans
Chad Gable, known for his Olympic background and dynamic presence, suffered a serious assault during WWE RAW, resulting in an injury that will force him out of action for shoulder surgery later in the month. The incident puts him alongside Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio, both recent additions to the ever-growing list of sidelined stars. The injury not only impacts Gable’s career but also adds uncertainty to his on-screen persona, El Grande Americano, who mysteriously vanishes with Gable’s absence.
El Grande Americano, a masked figure played by Gable on RAW, is expected to disappear, yet the storyline suggests a twist could occur. Rather than leaving the mask behind, there’s rumored potential for Ludwig Kaiser to assume the disguise and keep the character alive. According to recent WWE programming, Kaiser’s unexpected presence backstage during the chaotic aftermath on RAW—where Gable’s arm was targeted by Penta—caught the attention of both fans and fellow wrestlers.
Speculation Intensifies Over Kaiser’s Possible New Role
Ludwig Kaiser, a German star and a member of Imperium, has experienced a lull in his WWE appearances after previously being positioned for a singles run. However, his well-timed walk-through during RAW’s fallout has sparked belief that he may soon don The American Made mask and perform as El Grande Americano in Gable’s stead. This scenario could lead to dramatic moments on WWE television, such as Penta unmasking Kaiser or Kaiser revealing his own identity, stunning the audience by demonstrating he has been playing the character all along.
Kaiser stepping in would preserve storylines involving key entities like Penta, Dominik Mysterio, and the rest of the roster. It could also breathe new life into Kaiser’s career, moving him from the background to a more prominent place in ongoing WWE storylines, particularly as speculation grows about how these changes might impact American Made’s direction.
Leadership Challenges Loom for American Made
With Gable sidelined, concern surrounds American Made, the faction that also includes Ivy Nile, Julius Creed, and Brutus Creed. Gable’s injury leaves a leadership void, raising fears that the group might lose focus or momentum. However, WWE insiders suggest that Ludwig Kaiser could step up through his assumed role as El Grande Americano, potentially guiding the group’s remaining members forward.
If Kaiser leads American Made during Gable’s absence, the chemistry within the faction may shift, keeping Ivy and The Creed Brothers relevant. This potential reshuffling of roles signals the start of a complex narrative, particularly when Gable eventually returns. If Gable finds Kaiser at the helm, conflict and dramatic tension may arise between them, especially considering Kaiser’s prior standing in European Elegance and his ambition to become a singles star.
For now, the injury forces Gable to the sidelines, but the storyline possibilities seem endless. American Made fans are left to wonder how the group will evolve, who will truly lead them, and whether Gable will reclaim his spot or spark a new rivalry upon his return.
