The world is ready to believe in Chad Gable once again.

Even since he was unmasked at AAA Noche de Los Grandes and revealed to be the man behind the Original El Grande Americano persona, Gable has gone on an apology tour across multiple episodes of Raw and SmackDown.

All the luchadores that he offended with his actions have been quick to forgive, knowing that he's now truly seen the error of his ways. WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio even found an ally in Gable when he was disrespected and unmasked by Rusev and Ethan Page last Monday night on WWE Raw.

Gable received a spectacular ovation from the crowd in Paris, France, when he rushed to the ring and saved both Mysterio and Penta from further humiliation and punishment.

This Monday night on WWE Raw, fans inside the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland will be treated to Gable's return to action as he takes on Rusev. Chad made that announcement Saturday evening on social media.

"The acceptance I’ve been given by EVERYONE upon dropping the mask and returning to WWE Raw has been overwhelming and will be forever treasured by me.

But if I don’t perform and live up to my own expectations, it’ll all be for nothing.

This Monday, Rusev is the first stop on a very important path I’ve defined for myself.

Now or never. Come along for the ride."

It's been over a year since Chad Gable performed as himself on the Red Brand. He hasn't wrestled without the mask of El Grande Americano since June 9, 2025, when he lost to AJ Styles.

The King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments will be resuming Monday night in Baltimore as well. The semifinals will be getting underway as Oba Femi faces off against Dominik Mysterio, and IYO SKY goes one-on-one with Big Sexy Raquel Rodriguez.

The winners of both matches will move onto the finals of their respective tournaments, which will be held at Night of Champions on Saturday, June 27. The other two semifinals match-ups, featuring Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, Charlotte Flair, Jey Uso and Je'Von Evans, will take place next Friday night on SmackDown.
