WWE Chad Gable's injury Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images. Gable's injury has not been revealed. It appears serious enough that WWE had to write his character off TV for a while. We will see when he is able to come back. Advertisement He is the reigning Speed Champion, beating Dragon Lee for it in May 2025 as El Grande Americano. It is unknown if he will have to vacate it or not. Gable and Penta have been feuding for months. The latter Superstar debuted his January 2025 against Gable, beating him. This kickstarted their feud, and Gable eventually became El Grande Americano as a result of his losses to luchadors. He has been a workhorse for the company, playing two characters. Gable pulled double-duty during the June 7 weekend, first wrestling as Gable against El Hijo del Vikingo at Worlds Collide before competing in the Men's Money in the Bank later that night as Americano. Throughout his career, Gable has won the NXT Tag Team Championship and SmackDown Tag Team Championship with Jason Jordon. He also won the RAW Tag Team Championship twice — once with Bobby Roode and once with Otis. Advertisement Currently, Gable is the leader of the American Made stable. It also features the Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus) and Ivy Nile. This is the first stable Gable formed after he left Alpha Academy. Alpha Academy was formed in 2020. Initially, it only featured Gable and Otis. Over time, they recruited new members, Maxxine Dupri and Akira Tozawa, who remain in the group with Otis.

After undergoing surgery, WWE star Chad Gable is on the road to return from his recent injury, and he posted an update for fans on social media. Advertisement He took to Instagram to share an update for his fans. Gable promised he would'be back quicker than you can say GRACIAS!' a reference to his El Grande Americano character.

The comments were flooded by responses from current and past WWE stars. Former WWE star and current AEW wrestler Bobby Lashley said, 'Prayers for a speedy recovery bro,' while Natalya said, 'Thank you for always putting your body on the line for our entertainment- A true f*****g workhorse.' When will Chad Gable return to WWE from his injury? It is unclear when Gable will return from his undisclosed injury. The nature of it is unclear, but it was serious enough to require surgery. Advertisement Hopefully, all goes well on his road to recovery. Gable was having the run of his career, playing two characters in WWE. The second, El Grande Americano, has seemingly been taken over by Ludwig Kaiser. The role has caused Gable to have to wrestle more frequently. He had a busy Money in the Bank weekend, as he competed at Worlds Collide as Gable before taking part in the event's namesake ladder match as Americano. Gable was written off TV during the June 23, 2025, edition of Monday Night RAW. He had a backstage confrontation with Penta, who injured his arm by putting him in a submission hold.

He is also the leader of the American Made faction, which also includes the Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus) and Ivy Nile. They have been together since July 2024, shortly after Gable left Alpha Academy.

Did this WWE star just reveal secret El Grande Americano identity?
The post Did this WWE star just reveal secret El Grande Americano identity? appeared first on ClutchPoints. With the recent injury to WWE star Chad Gable, someone has to take up the El Grande Americano mantle, and former Imperium member Ludwig Kaiser may have dropped a bombshell tease. Advertisement He took to his Instagram Stories (via WrestleLamia on X, formerly Twitter) to share a picture from the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Interestingly, he is getting an Americano coffee drink from a machine, leading to fan speculation. This added fuel to the fire that Kaiser is Americano. The role was originally played by Gable, but someone had to take over it in his absence. During the June 30, 2025, edition of Monday Night RAW, Americano was seen backstage. While he was masked, it was obvious that Kaiser was the one under the mask. Is Ludwig Kaiser WWE's El Grande Americano? All signs point to Kaiser being the new Americano. He appeared backstage during the June 30 edition of RAW, and it was clear he was under the mask. During the show, Kaiser also leaned into the internet frenzy he caused, asking, 'What's all the fuss about?!' on X. Advertisement We will have to see how WWE handles it from here. Will they act like Kaiser is the same Americano that Gable played? Or will there be an explanation for his change in height? Either way, Kaiser is probably just happy to be back on screen. He had not been seen on RAW since March 2025, and he has not competed in a televised match since April 28, 2025. He took part in the 2025 André The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Grace Smith/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images. It is unclear why Kaiser was kept off WWE TV for so long. That usually does not bode well for Superstars, but he now appears set to be in a marquee spot on the card. Kaiser was previously part of Imperium with Gunther. While Kaiser kicked Giovanni Vinci out of the group, the group appears to have disbanded as of December 2024. Gunther wanted Kaiser to pave his own path, and becoming Americano appears to be the direction Kaiser went. Advertisement Meanwhile, the 'Ring General' is the reigning World Heavyweight Champion in his second reign. Gunther just beat Jey Uso to win the World Heavyweight Championship for the second time.
