Real Reason Behind Chad Gable’s WWE RAW Exit Finally Revealed
WWE shocked fans during the June 24 episode of Monday Night RAW when Chad Gable was taken out in a dramatic segment by Penta. While many assumed it was simply a storyline twist, new backstage reports confirm that the angle served a much more serious purpose: Chad Gable is dealing with a legitimate injury.
According to BodySlam.net’s sources, including The Masked J, CodyWhoades, and Cory Hays, the attack on Gable was not just scripted drama—it was WWE’s way of writing him off television while he recovers. Although the exact nature of the injury has not been disclosed, it’s reportedly severe enough that creative plans had to be adjusted immediately.
WWE’s creative team used the ambush from Penta as a storyline device to explain Gable’s absence without derailing too many of the ongoing RAW angles. Whether Gable will be completely off TV or just appear in a reduced, non-wrestling role is still uncertain.
This news comes at a rough time for Gable, who has been building strong heel momentum on Monday nights. He’s been mentoring The Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile while mixing it up in mid-card rivalries—most notably with Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn. With Gable now sidelined, his storyline with Zayn and his role as “coach” are both in jeopardy.
Chad Gable’s transformation over the past year has been praised by fans and analysts alike. From being a lovable underdog to becoming a cocky, manipulative heel, his evolution added much-needed variety to RAW’s mid-card scene. His mic work, athletic ability, and in-ring psychology have made him a valuable asset.
This injury, however, brings that rise to a sudden halt.
Injuries are a part of the business, but timing can make all the difference. With several Superstars returning from layoffs and others building steam ahead of SummerSlam, Gable’s absence might leave a noticeable gap—especially in the tag and mid-card divisions.
There’s also speculation on whether Gable will return as a babyface or continue his dark, arrogant persona. WWE hasn’t given an official statement on his return timeline, but insiders believe it could be a few weeks to a couple of months depending on his recovery.
Until then, it remains to be seen how the Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile’s push continues without their leader guiding them.
