Chad Gable removed from WWE Money in the Bank qualifying match
Chad Gable is no longer set to compete in a WWE Money in the Bank qualifying match next week.
A triple threat match between Gable, Braun Strowman, and Bronson Reed had been announced for Raw next Monday, but Ilja Dragunov is taking Gable’s place in the qualifier. The change was announced via a graphic that was shown on the latest episode of WWE Main Event. It comes after Gable was the victim of an attack by the Wyatt Sicks.
The new faction debuted at the end of Raw earlier this week. As part of their introduction, a bloody Gable was shown backstage in Gorilla position after being decimated by the Wyatt Sicks.
Uncle Howdy, Erick Rowan, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, and Joe Gacy have been confirmed as members of the Wyatt Sicks. Led by his brother Taylor (Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy), the group is a tribute to the late Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt).
Before the attack, Gable lost to Strowman in a singles match on Raw. Alpha Academy then imploded — seemingly for good — with Otis, Maxxine Dupri, and Akira Tozawa leaving Gable.
Gable recently signed a new WWE contract. He lost to Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn at Clash at the Castle last weekend.
Jey Uso and IYO SKY have already qualified for this year’s respective Money in the Bank ladder matches. The event is taking place in Toronto on Saturday, July 6.
The updated card for next Monday’s Raw is listed below:
