WWE Raw star Chad Gable is expected to be off television for the foreseeable future, as he is scheduled to undergo surgery in early July to address an undisclosed injury. This latest development was reported by PWInsiderElite.com and follows up on Gable being written out of current storylines during the most recent episode of Monday Night Raw. On that show, Gable was attacked backstage by Penta in a segment specifically designed to accommodate his injury.
An earlier report from BodySlam.net noted that the injury was significant enough to force WWE to alter its creative direction. While the specific nature of the injury remains unclear, the buzz backstage over the past 24 hours has centered on the upcoming procedure, with no confirmed timetable yet for Gable’s return to in-ring action.
Gable’s absence comes at an unfortunate time, as he had been a major presence on Raw in recent months. He had continued developing his heel character as the self-appointed “coach” of the Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile, and also appeared under a mask as El Grande Americano in recent weeks. Fans and colleagues alike are hoping for a successful surgery and a full recovery for the talented and versatile performer.
