Chad Gable credits The Undertaker for career transformation

Chad Gable has credited The Undertaker with helping him transition away from his "Shorty G" comedic persona to find a more authentic professional wrestling identity. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Gable noted that The Undertaker helped him realize he did not have to be confined to a comedy character, a period Gable described as a career low.

Gable's career transformation includes his recent success in AAA and his victory over Penta at WWE SummerSlam to win the Intercontinental Championship.

In related news regarding the WWE championship scene, rumors regarding a tournament to determine a Mexican contender for Roman Reigns’ World Heavyweight Championship have circulated. While there was speculation regarding Ludwig Kaiser, wrestling analyst Dave Meltzer clarified that promotional materials for the tournament feature wrestlers such as Penta, Dragon Lee, and Psycho Clown, rather than Kaiser.
