TOP STORIES TODAY

A 5-time WWE champion confirmed that he had suffered a major injury. This is the first time he has opened up about the unfortunate situation after having a career renaissance this year in the Stamford-based promotion.

Chad Gable has been out of action for some time. While it was revealed that Gable was injured, the nature of his injury was not known. The 39-year-old star recently stated that he had suffered a rotator cuff injury. Despite the setback, Chad Gable is looking at the silver lining and enjoying his time with his family amid the WWE hiatus.

El Grande Americano’s identity has been a topic of much discussion ever since his appearance on TV. Now, a popular star may have accidentally made a big revelation.

Though WWE hasn’t officially acknowledged it, Chad Gable has often been believed to be El Grande Americano. The mysterious star underwent a change after injury to Gable, and now Ludwig Kaiser is seemingly donning the mask.

Despite trying to keep the identity a secret, Chad Gable may have spilled the beans when he spoke about having a singles match at WrestleMania 41 against Rey Fenix. For those unaware, it was El Grande Americano who faced Fenix, not Gable!

A fan-favorite WWE Superstar has made his blockbuster return just days ahead of SummerSlam 2025. This is none other than the legendary Rey Mysterio.

Mysterio, who missed WrestleMania 41 due a groin injury, showed up at a WWE Live Event in Mexico in the buildup to The Biggest Party of the Summer.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Mysterio following his huge comeback in the sports entertainment juggernaut.

FROM THE RUMOR MILL

WWE has brought back multiple controversial names to the promotion in its history. However, the global juggernaut is reportedly firm on not bringing back a former World Heavyweight Champion. The star in question is Alberto El Patron, fka Alberto Del Rio.

The 48-year-old veteran recently lost to El Mesias, forcing him out of AAA. Amid fan speculation about whether El Patron could make a return to WWE, a report has clarified that it is not the case. Sources within WWE claimed that there is no plan for El Patron in the company. It was also reported that Alberto El Patron is legitimately done in AAA, though, there is backstage belief that he will make efforts to return to both companies (AAA and WWE).
