Chad Gable Eyes WWE Championship

Chad Gable believes his recent in-ring performance has changed how he is viewed and positioned within WWE, and he now has his sights set on the top prize in the company.

Following his critically acclaimed mask vs. mask match against El Grande Americano, Gable spoke about his future during an appearance on The Hot Tag with Brady Jones. He made it clear that he sees himself as more than a tag team specialist and wants to move into the WWE Championship picture.

“So, I think it’s fairly clear to everybody that I’ve been this successful tag team wrestler and almost categorized as that. I have Tag Team Championships on every level. I’ve made it very clear in the past that I’m capable of more than that and I think what the mask vs. mask match did was show the world those weren’t just words. That I’m now backing it up and my intention going forward is to continue to do that and prove that I’m not just gonna want to hold singles championships going forward. That’s a goal, but, to be the guy, to hold the World Championship, to hold the WWE Championship. I’m capable of that. I know it, and I think people now know it and the right people now know it.”

Gable also addressed the importance of maintaining his current momentum. He pointed to ongoing storylines tied to his past, including his connection with Otis, as a key part of his character development moving forward.

“It’s also on me to continue this momentum to carry it forward. I think we got a great thing going on with me kind of making amends with these characters and demons from my past and my own demons that I’ve gotta rectify and I think people are engaged in this story again. It’s emotional and the stuff with Otis, like whether or not I’m gonna be able to get an apology across to him. It’s resonating, and it’s on me to continue it and keep it going because all too common is you have this one great moment and this great mask vs. mask match that everybody was critically acclaimed, commercially acclaimed but, I’ve never been about the achievement and the end goal.”

He emphasized that his focus has always been on progression rather than single accomplishments, noting that he is determined to build on this moment rather than slow down.

“For me, it’s always, like, process-driven, which is great because right now, we are very specifically in a process of me being able to either bridge that gap and become the next-level performer that I’ve always said I wanna be, or I can rest on my laurels and say ‘Hey man, I had this awesome match. Let’s chill out for a little bit but, no thank you.’”

In addition, Gable noted that El Grande Americano continued to gain traction as a character during his absence, which contributed to the overall impact of their rivalry and helped elevate his own standing as a complete performer.

With momentum on his side, Gable is now aiming to translate recent success into a sustained push toward the WWE Championship.
