Chad Gable vows to persevere and win the WWE Intercontinental Championship. 

On the August 21 episode of WWE Raw, Gable defeated WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther via count-out. He challenged Gunther for the gold in the main event of the September 4 episode of WWE Raw, and “The Ring General” emerged victorious. 

In a WWE Raw Exclusive, Gable shared his thoughts after his loss. He made it clear that the defeat was not the end, and he vowed to win the gold.

“It’s one of those things where amateur wrestling taught me a lot about this, like having these huge opportunities and these big characters-building and breakout moments at your disposal, and you gotta make the most of them. Then when something like tonight happens and it just slips through your fingers, it’s happened before in amateur wrestling, but I learned to persevere, like find my way through it and realize that that’s not the end. I promise you, in this situation, it’s the same thing. That’s not the end, for a number of reasons. One, because I have a legacy to protect here. We can talk all the ‘haha’ stuff you want, ‘Thank you’ and ‘Shoosh.’ All that’s fun, and it’s a good time to do that to people and fun to play along with. But there’s also times where, when it’s my kids sitting in the front freaking row, and we got Gunther out there, talking to them, saying, ‘Is this your daddy,’ and chopping me in front of them, my daughter’s crying her freaking eyes out, it kind of stops being fun at a certain point. So that bothers me at a certain level. So you have my word, I swear to you, I swear to everybody, on myself and my career, that’s not the end. I’m taking the Intercontinental Championship. I want him to keep it as long as it freaking takes for me to get a rematch. Because I’m coming back for it, and I swear to god, I’m winning that championship,” Gable said.
