WWE staff broke up the scuffle, and Gable was on the ground in pain.

Since details on the injury are scarce, there is currently no word on the timeline for Gable's recovery. Gable has also been performing under the El Grande Americano mask. The gimmick has led to more TV time for the seasoned veteran. He had been involved in a storyline with several lucha libre stars, and some fans speculated that the payoff would take place at "SummerSlam." Gable captured the WWE Speed title donning the El Grande Americano attire. If Gable ends up being stripped of the gold, it may be an indicator of the severity of his injury.

Liv Morgan injury update: WWE star will 'miss several months' after shoulder injury
WWE star Liv Morgan will 'miss several months of action' after she suffered a shoulder injury. The announcement was made by commentator Corey Graves during Monday Night Raw on June 23. It was expected Morgan would miss significant time as a result of her injury, but the severity of it was unknown. Morgan is also one half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions alongside Raquel Rodriguez. Advertisement The plans on the titles haven't been announced, as Rodriguez could either continue the reign alongside someone else or the titles could be vacated. There is a chance Rodriguez and Morgan could hold onto the championships until Morgan returns. Liv Morgan during the Women's Royal Rumble during the WWE Royal Rumble 2025 at Lucas Oil Stadium. What happened to Liv Morgan? Morgan suffered the injury in a match with Kairi Sane during Monday Night Raw on June 16. In the early stages of the contest, Sane dropped to her knees to perform a single-leg takedown. Morgan went face first on the mat and her right shoulder also hit the ground. Morgan immediately yelled in pain and rolled out of the ring as the referee prevented Sane from performing any other move. Advertisement Medical personnel came to check on Morgan outside of the ring, and the match was eventually called off as Morgan was escorted out of the arena. Sane was declared winner by forfeit. Liv Morgan return: When could she come back? While the severity of Morgan's injury is unknown, Morgan won't be appearing in WWE in the foreseeable future. Morgan was scheduled to attend Fanatics Fest in New York City on June 20-22, but was pulled from the event after her injury. A shoulder dislocation can sideline athletes for months. The timeline of return depends on the severity of the injury and whether surgery is necessary. The Mayo Clinic says the shoulder would improve "over a few weeks" if surgery is not needed, but if surgery is performed, full recovery can take five to six months. Advertisement Shoulder injuries have been an issue for the two-time Women's World Champion. In 2023, Morgan missed six months of action after she dislocated her shoulder in a match with Rhea Ripley, which turned out to be a labrum tear and she required surgery. Should Morgan miss around five months, she would return around the same time as Survivor Series on Nov. 29, or could possibly wait to return at Royal Rumble in January 2026, similar to how she did in 2024. Morgan was in her fourth reign as WWE Women's Tag Team Champion with Raquel Rodriguez, a record for the title. The duo won the titles at Raw After WrestleMania on April 21 and they lost them to Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch one day earlier at WrestleMania 41.
