Injured WWE Raw superstar Chad Gable has provided the first specific update on his condition since being written off television last month. While attending a Minnesota Twins baseball game on Sunday, Gable confirmed he is recovering from a rotator cuff injury.
Gable has been out of action since June after a storyline attack from Penta El Zero Miedo. He appeared at the baseball game with his arm in a sling but was in good spirits.
Finding The “Silver Lining”
During an interview with the Twins.TV at the game, Gable was asked about his recovery. He confirmed the nature of his injury and maintained a positive attitude about his time away from the ring.
“I’m looking at the silver lining here. I have a little injury to my rotator cuff,” Gable said. “But what it did do was buy me some time off the road to be home with my family and do stuff like this, go to a baseball game on a Sunday which I never get to do. So find the bright side, right?”
Gable was in the middle of a major run as the leader of the “American Made” faction on Raw before the injury. He was written out of storylines on the June 23rd episode of Raw after a backstage attack from his rival, Penta El Zero Miedo. It was reported that Gable underwent successful shoulder surgery in early July to repair the damage.
There is currently no official timeline for his return to the ring. A rotator cuff injury is significant and could see him sidelined for several more months.

This development sets up a natural comeback feud for Gable when he is eventually cleared to return. He will be looking to reclaim not only his spot on the roster but also his stolen identity.
