PWInsider: Chad Gable Returning to WWE Performance Center This Week for Ring Prep

The update points to a near-term comeback, with questions over who carries the El Grande Americano persona.

Overview

  • Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports Gable is expected at WWE’s Performance Center in Florida this week to begin in-ring conditioning.
  • Gable has been out since a June shoulder and rotator cuff injury that required surgery in Birmingham, with WWE writing him off via a Penta arm-snap storyline.
  • In his absence, Ludwig Kaiser took over the El Grande Americano character and gained momentum, including work under the AAA banner in Mexico.
  • Gable’s most recent match was on June 17, when he retained the WWE Speed Championship against Berto of Legado Del Fantasma as El Grande Americano.
  • Reports highlight uncertainty about whether Gable resumes that masked role, and suggest his return could bring American Made back into regular Raw storylines.
