What they're saying
"

WWE star Seth Rollins knows a thing or two about being a great wrestler, and he made it clear on his Instagram Stories last night that he believes Intercontinental Champion Chad Gable is now one of the very best in the world. “Watching Gable grow into one of the best wrestlers on the planet has been an absolute treat.” This week’s (Sept. 14) Raw main event match in Mexico City of World Heavyweight Champions Roman Reigns vs. Penta is getting most of the headlines, but plenty of folks out there think Gable’s successful title defense that night against Dragon Lee was just as good, if not better, in some ways. In fact, with Gable being in the midst of the biggest push of his WWE career and even getting a big title win over Penta at SummerSlam, perhaps it’s time that I update my perception and drop the term “underrated” from my description of him. Are you surprised to see Gable have this kind of success in WWE after once being stuck in a dead end “Shorty G” gimmick? Let me know if you agree or disagree with Seth’s assessment in the comments below, Cagesiders.
