Another WWE Injury Plagues 'Monday Night Raw' Brand

The injury bug has plagued WWE as of late, and another "Raw" talent is out of action.

On Monday's episode of the red brand , Chad Gable started a backstage brawl with Penta. The fight ended with Penta targeting Gable's arm with The Sacrifice submission. WWE staff broke up the scuffle, and Gable was on the ground in pain.

As it turns out, the segment may have been a way to write the current WWE Speed Champion off TV. Bodyslam.net reports that Gable has suffered a legitimate, undisclosed injury. 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. His most recent match aired on June 17, and it was a successful title defense against Berto of Legado del Fantasma.

WWE has already been dealing with two key injuries, and both impacted stars perform on "Monday Night Raw." Liv Morgan suffered a dislocated shoulder and will be out of action for several months. Morgan's onscreen boyfriend, Dominik Mysterio, remains on TV, but he also isn't medically cleared for in-ring action.
