Chad Gable isn’t letting a serious shoulder injury keep him on the sidelines creatively. The WWE star, who recently underwent surgery after suffering a legitimate shoulder injury, just gave fans another major update — and it’s all about his new project outside the ring.
While Gable is expected to be out of action for at least six months, he’s already finding ways to channel his energy. On July 4th, the former Tag Team Champion took to Instagram and revealed he’s reigniting an old passion for filmmaking and editing.
“Rekindling my love for filmmaking/editing and working on a little personal project to share with all of you,” Gable shared at the time. “I’ll drop more details soon, but as for today, Happy 4th of July! Enjoy your friends, family, and freedom!”
But now, fans are getting their first real look at what Gable’s been cooking up.
On July 6th, Gable took to Instagram again and dropped a major tease for what he’s calling “The Renewal,” a documentary project chronicling his injury, surgery, and recovery process.
“Short preview clip of a project I’ve been working on documenting the injury/surgery/recovery,” Gable wrote. “Calling it ‘The Renewal.’ Looking to get the first full piece up for viewing tomorrow.”
The Olympian-turned-WWE star didn’t stop there. He’s also inviting fans to help shape the project as it unfolds.
“While I continue to work on this stuff, let me know in the comments what kinds of things you would find value in me documenting during the journey,” Gable explained. “It’s going to be a passion project and I’m sure very uncomfortable at times (already has been haha), but that’ll make it worth it. Let me know! Let’s collaborate!”
Attached to the post was a short video preview giving fans a raw glimpse of Gable’s recovery process, sparking curiosity about what’s next for the WWE star.
With his wrestling future temporarily on hold, Gable’s turning his injury into an opportunity for creativity — and possibly inspiring others going through tough times.
