Chad Gable Discusses His Current Heel Run – Gable officially turned heel after attacking Sami Zayn following Zayn’s victory over him in Montreal to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
In an interview with The Gorilla Position, Gable revealed that the heel turn was his own idea. He felt that his run as a babyface had lost momentum around WrestleMania time, prompting him to suggest the change.
The whole idea to turn heel was kind of my idea. I felt like I flatlined as a babyface somewhere around WrestleMania. I came up short against Gunther a few times. Came up short against Sami. At a certain point, something has to change, or people are not going to buy into you any further. I had the idea, ‘Let’s do it,’ it just so happened we were going to be in Montreal, Sami’s hometown, the week after Mania when I was having that match. I was like, ‘there could not be a better place to do this thing.’ We made it happen and the stars aligned. I feel like it’s worked out in our favor. Since then, Otis is this perfect sympathetic guy that you can’t help buy feel bad for. We have everything in our favor working for us.
