Chad Gable becomes main event contender in WWE after recent success

Chad Gable's trajectory in WWE has shifted dramatically following a successful storyline culminating in a Mask vs. Mask match against Ludwig Kaiser at AAA’s Nocha de Los Grandes. Despite initially being relegated to comedic roles, Gable's portrayal as the 'Original El Grande Americano' has resonated with fans, leading to calls for a significant push within WWE. Gable's comeback from injury at the 2026 Royal Rumble has garnered him major crowd support, and there's internal advocacy for him to appear prominently at SummerSlam 2026, taking place in his hometown of Minneapolis. As Gable embraces his new role, expectations are high for a potential championship bout against Penta for the Intercontinental Championship.
