Triple H says that escalated quickly.
On the June 17 episode of WWE Raw, the Wyatt Sick6 debuted and attacked several members of the roster, including Chad Gable. Gable was shown laid out backstage, and his head was bleeding. The buzz about the beatdown escalated to the point that some fans joked that Gable was "dead." Gable was initially replaced in the Money in the Bank qualifying match he was set to compete in on the June 24 episode of WWE Raw before Adam Pearce announced that he would compete after all.
Gable himself responded to the news by posting a picture of a zombified Jason Vorhees.

Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H was asked about Chad Gable following the Wyatt Sick6's brutal attack.
“Yeah, he’s good. You see things on TV, and it escalated quickly from, ‘Here’s Chad Gable laying down, he’s obviously unconscious, got a little blood on him,’ to, ‘Oh my god, he got shot in the head, he’s dead.’ Here’s obituaries being put up on him and people wishing him well. Look, it’s one of the wonderful things about our fans is, they just love to be engaged in the product and to, in their minds, fantasize where it can go and what it’s gonna be. It’s an awesome part of what we do. Every now and then, we gotta pull back into reality a little bit, like, ‘No, Chad Gable is still alive,’ if we can just clarify that for the record. He’s still alive, and if you come to [Raw] tonight, you will probably see him actually competing. That’s the kind of stud he is," Triple H said.
