Chad Gable is determined to break his typecasting as a tag team wrestler.
On Monday’s edition of RAW, Gable competed in a fatal four way match to determine the next challenger for the Intercontinental Champion Gunther. After a hard fought battle, Chad Gable would pin Tommaso Ciampa off the Chaos Theory to become the brand new number 1 contender.
In a WWE Raw Exclusive, Gable would discuss his landmark win in singles competition.
“You dream about this stuff, man. I’ve been trying to break this kind of typecast I was put in as a tag team guy for a long time. I’ve been asking for opportunities and saying I’m ready to do a singles thing, or ready to at least try to prove myself and show that I can. Give me the shot to just show you that I can. So I had my chance tonight, and I always said if I ever get it, trust me, I’m not gonna waste it. But it’s one of those things where the stars align. It’s funny, in this life, that happens once in a while. I was in Minnesota, my family’s front row, and just got the Intercontinental [Championship] number one contender match. Everything I’ve been asking for, the stars aligned and it happened for me tonight,”
“Oh man, he’s totally geeked about singlets now. That’s his thing. So now any time I order a singlet, he needs to get one of his own. So I’m in deep trouble here because I order a lot of singlets, it’s kind of my thing. But it’s so cool, man. He’s so into wrestling and it’s nothing I would ever force on my kids or anything, to make them do sports. But he loves this stuff. He wants to do amateur sports like his dad. He calls it the wrestling with no fireworks, what we do. He wants do the stuff that’s not so loud. But to have him be kind of my reason for everything I do, someone that really values the work I do, and someone that looks up to me and the work ethic and just persevering and seeing through all these lows and really deep valleys that I’ve found myself in the last few years, so he’s my guy,”

There is currently no date for Gable and Gunther’s match for the championship, but it will certainly be an incredible matchup when the two men battle once again.
