Chad Gable’s Tough Loss Sets Stage for Upcoming Title Fight

ST. LOUIS, Missouri – Chad Gable faced a challenging night during a triple-threat Money in the Bank qualifier on WWE RAW, but showcased his resilience despite suffering a serious injury. The match took place on May 26, 2025, where Gable faced off against luchadors Dragon Lee and Penta.

Throughout the match, Gable found himself in a difficult position as the sole heel, competing against two agile opponents. His ongoing rivalry with Lucha Libre has intensified, making this battle crucial for him. Gable seemed to gain momentum at times, but a risky decision to attack El Hijo del Vikingo outside the ring ultimately led to his downfall.

In a pivotal moment, Vikingo launched a significant kick that busted Gable open above his eye. Following this, Penta seized the opportunity and executed his finishing move, the Penta Driver, to secure the victory, eliminating Gable from the Money in the Bank ladder match.

After the match, Gable displayed his grit by posting a photo of his injury on social media, humorously stating, ‘You should see the other guys.’ This quote emphasizes his relentless attitude as he prepares for his next fight.

Gable’s upcoming challenge will be against El Hijo del Vikingo at WWE Worlds Collide on June 7, 2025, for the AAA Mega Championship. The rivalry has escalated since Vikingo’s attack, and Gable aims to prove himself on a larger stage.

Despite the recent setbacks, Gable remains determined to chase championship opportunities and aims to bounce back from this loss.
