Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
A segment on Monday Night Raw was reportedly done to write Chad Gable off of WWE television. The angle was used to cover for a legitimate injury.
According to a report from BodySlam.net, Gable is suffering from an undisclosed injury. The report states the injury is serious enough to alter creative plans for him.
The On-Screen Angle Involving Chad Gable
On the June 23rd episode of Raw, Gable was attacked by Penta El Zero Miedo. This storyline attack will serve as the reason for his on-screen absence.
WWE will use the angle to either remove Gable from television completely or reduce his schedule. This will give him time to recover from the injury.
There are currently no details on the specific nature of the injury. It is also unclear how long Gable will be out of action.
It is not known if he will work a limited schedule or stay away from the show entirely while he heals.

Alex BierensChad Gable's Impact On Raw Storylines
The timing of the injury affects a key storyline on Raw. Gable has been a consistent presence on the show in recent weeks.
He has fully embraced a heel role as the "coach" of The Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile. He has also been feuding with top stars like Sami Zayn.
Gable's absence will impact the momentum of his faction. It is uncertain how WWE will handle the storyline for his group in the coming weeks.
Gable signed with WWE in 2013 and quickly made a name for himself in NXT. He formed the popular tag team American Alpha with Jason Jordan, capturing the NXT Tag Team Championship with their impressive technical skill. The duo was called up to the main roster in 2016 and won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.

After the team split, Gable became a tag team specialist, winning the Raw Tag Team Championship with both Bobby Roode and later, Otis. After a poorly received run as "Shorty G," he reinvented himself as the charismatic master of the Alpha Academy, creating the popular "Shoosh!" catchphrase.
In recent years, Gable received a significant singles push with a series of acclaimed Intercontinental Title matches against GUNTHER. This led to his current role as a demanding, villainous coach, a central part of Monday Night Raw storylines.
