Chad Gable Says He’s Felt Useful Ever Since Triple H Took Over Creative, Hopes To Face Brock Lesnar
Chad Gable talks WWE under the Triple H regime.
On July 22, 2022, Vince McMahon retired as WWE CEO and head of creative. In his place, Paul “Triple H” Levesque became WWE’s Chief Content Officer and the head of creative.
During Triple H’s time at the helm, WWE programming has seen a renewed focus on the in-ring product. In the process, names like GUNTHER, Ricochet, and Chad Gable have all been given a chance to shine.
Speaking with Denise Salcedo, Chad Gable said it’s been nice to “feel useful” in his position ever since Triple H took over WWE creative.
“I think we’ve seen since Hunter took over, and thankfully, for my sake, he does really appreciate the wrestling side of what we do. I think he sees that in me,” Gable said. “I think he sees me as a valuable go-to guy that he can depend on when he needs a quality match out of whoever. Which, to me is really gratifying to know that I can be looked upon like that from somebody, not only just fans, but someone like Hunter, who is in the position he is. So it’s been rewarding. It’s been nice to be very busy and kind of feel very useful over the past six months because a lot of times in the past, it hasn’t been that way. So yeah, it’s been a good period.”
Chad Gable says he would like to wrestle names like Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar to continue showing what he can do. Specifically, with Lesnar, Gable equates the match he can have with Brock to the ones that Brock has had with Daniel Bryan.
“Fortunately, like I said, over the past six months, I’ve had the chance to mix it up with a lot of great guys in singles matches, too. So, I do want to take advantage of this opportunity as a singles guy to wrestle. I haven’t gotten up against guys like Seth and some of our upper-echelon guys,” said Gable. “A lot of people would be intimidated by Brock. I think I could bring something special to a match [with] Brock. You used to see a guy like Daniel Bryan bring special nuances to matches with certain opponents very specific to them. I think I carry that same quality or have the ability to. So, a guy like Brock and a guy like Bobby Lashley, who I’ve had short matches with, but I feel like I could really get a lot out of all these guys in lengthy programs. So yeah, there’s a lot.”
Chad Gable has yet to hold singles gold in WWE but has had the opportunity in the past to win the United States Championship from names like AJ Styles.
Most recently, Chad Gable has been featured as part of a tag team with Otis, Alpha Academy, but in the past, has been given praise by names such as Kurt Angle.
