The post-American Alpha career of Chad Gable has been touch and go. Gable has had success in a tag team with Robert Roode and made it to the finals of the last year’s King of the Ring tournament.
The downs have outweighed him though, as Gable’s King of the Ring finalist spot didn’t transition into much of anything, Gable having been rechristened Shorty G following the tournament and spent more time putting over other talent since then. Gable recently got his name back and it’s been said Vince McMahon was hoping the name would get him over, and there’s hope for Gable yet.
Wrestling News has reported Gable has a lot of support backstage, thought it’s unclear who has support. Daniel Bryan has been a vocal supporter of Gable and he has a spot on the creative team, and McMahon himself sees Gable as a “tough guy.”
We were told by someone close to the creative process that there is optimism because Vince McMahon genuinely sees Gable as a tough guy and he admires what he accomplished before pro wrestling.
McMahon’s respect for Gable hasn’t always panned out, the Shorty G name being a great case in point. However, the jury is still out on what will happen to Gable in this post-Shorty G chapter.
