Injured WWE Star Sends Message To Fans After Undergoing Surgery
A top WWE star was recently sidelined due to an injury.
On the June 30 episode of Monday Night RAW, Chad Gable appeared in front of the fans with his arm in a sling to disclose his injury. He formally addressed the setback and told the fans that he would undergo surgery to fix his shoulder. Just hours after going under the knife, the Minnesota native took to Instagram to update his fans.
In a short video posted to his Instagram, he is seen in a hospital bed post-operation. With his signature wit and positivity, he captioned the clip:
“I’ll be back quicker than you can say GRACIAS!”

Fans flooded the comments with support, wishing Gable a speedy recovery. His work over the past year has earned him high praise, particularly through his transformation into El Grande Americano, the loudmouthed leader of the American Made stable.
How WWE Wrote-Off Chad Gable From TV
The Stamford-based promotion wrote Chad Gable off television on the June 23, 2025 episode of RAW by running an injury angle during his match with Penta. In the segment, the Mexican luchador delivered his signature arm-breaker, which appeared to seriously damage his opponent’s shoulder.
The spot was intentionally scripted to mirror a real-life injury, as Gable had been dealing with a nagging shoulder issue that required surgery. The angle gave WWE a clean and dramatic way to explain Gable’s sudden absence from programming while he undergoes recovery.
Chad Gable is the current WWE Speed Champion. As of now, the Triple-H-led company has not announced whether he will be forced to vacate his title.
