Chad Gable Comments On Earning Intercontinental Title Shot – As noted, Chad Gable earned a shot at the WWE Intercontinental Championship after his victory in a four-way match on Monday’s Raw, which was held in his hometown of Minneapolis, MN. Gable defeated Tommaso Ciampa, Matt Riddle, and Ricochet to emerge as the rightful contender for the title.
In an exclusive interview after win, Gable expressed his excitement and gratitude, describing the night as something he had always dreamed of. He mentioned that he had been striving to break free from the tag team wrestler label and wanted to prove his worth as a singles competitor. With determination in his eyes, he asserted that he would seize this opportunity to the fullest and leave no stone unturned in proving himself on the grand stage.
“You dream about this stuff, man. I’ve been trying to break this kind of typecast I was put in as a tag team guy for a long time. I’ve been asking for opportunities and saying I’m ready to do a singles thing, or ready to at least try to prove myself and show that I can. Give me the shot to just show you that I can. So I had my chance tonight, and I always said if I ever get it, trust me, I’m not gonna waste it. But it’s one of those things where the stars align. It’s funny, in this life, that happens once in a while. I was in Minnesota, my family’s front row, and just got the Intercontinental [Championship] number one contender match. Everything I’ve been asking for, the stars aligned and it happened for me tonight,” Gable said.
When asked about celebrating with his son after the match, Gable said his son really loves wrestling. He explained that his son’s support means a lot to him, especially because he’s been through tough times lately. Gable emphasized that having his son with him after the match was a big deal and gave him a boost of positivity.
“Oh man, he’s totally geeked about singlets now. That’s his thing. So now any time I order a singlet, he needs to get one of his own. So I’m in deep trouble here because I order a lot of singlets, it’s kind of my thing. But it’s so cool, man. He’s so into wrestling and it’s nothing I would ever force on my kids or anything, to make them do sports. But he loves this stuff. He wants to do amateur sports like his dad. He calls it the wrestling with no fireworks, what we do. He wants do the stuff that’s not so loud. But to have him be kind of my reason for everything I do, someone that really values the work I do, and someone that looks up to me and the work ethic and just persevering and seeing through all these lows and really deep valleys that I’ve found myself in the last few years, so he’s my guy.”
There is no word on when Gable will challenge for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
