It looks like WWE wasnt just building drama with Chad Gables segment on RAW they were covering for real-life issues. A new report reveals Gable is dealing with a legitimate injury serious enough to require surgery.
According to PWInsiderElite.com, Gable is slated to undergo surgery in early July to address the undisclosed injury. While WWE used an on-screen attack from Penta to explain his absence, the real reason is much more significant.
Bodyslam.net first reported that the injury has already forced creative changes, with WWE deciding to either pull Gable completely from television or drastically cut back his schedule while he heals.
At this time, the exact nature of the injury hasnt been made public. Its also unclear how long Gable will be out of action following surgery or if hell continue working behind the scenes in a limited capacity.
The timing couldnt be worse for Gable, who has been gaining serious momentum on RAW. His heel turn has seen him mentor the Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile while stirring up major trouble with Sami Zayn over the Intercontinental Championship. Now, with surgery on the horizon, those plans will have to pause.
For fans, its another frustrating setback for one of RAWs most reliable workhorses. But given Gables dedication, its safe to say hell be pushing hard for a comeback once hes medically cleared.
