Chad Gable Defeats Rusev On WWE Raw, Saved By Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee

Chad Gable picked up a big win in his first match without the mask on WWE Raw, beating Rusev before getting saved by Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee. Monday night’s episode saw Gable compete for the first time since he lost his El Grande Americano match at AAA Noche de Los Grandes. He battled Rusev after having come down to save Mysterio, Lee, and Penta from Rusev and Ethan Page last week.

The bout on tonight’s show ran a little under 10 and a half minutes, with Gable having to deal with both Rusev and outside interference from Page. Page tried to save Rusev from an anklelock late in the match and Gable ran him off, only to get taken out by a Matcha Kick from Rusev. Gable was able to fight out of the Accolade and then countered a stomp into another anklelock, picking up the win. Rusev and Page attacked Gable after the match, but Mysterio and Lee ran them off. Gable, Mysterio, and Lee celebrated the win afterward.

You can see clips from the match below. Gable’s last match without the mask was a loss to AJ Styles on the June 9th, 2025 episode of WWE Raw.
