Chad Gable gave a subtle tribute to Bray Wyatt on WWE Raw: What did fans miss?
Chad Gable is currently in a very unique position where he is working with a variety of different superstars. Now with his new stable American Made, Gable is at odds with his old family, Alpha Academy, and most notably, The Wyatt Sicks. Uncle Howdy's group in particular has been a thorn in his side in the last few weeks. Nevertheless, Gable recently opened up about the opportunity to work with the eerie faction, and how he even subtly paid tribute to Bray Wyatt.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Chad Gable shared his experience working with The Wyatt Sicks thus far. He explained how privileged he feels to be the first superstar to get to work with the faction, especially given his history with Bray Wyatt. After all, The Eater of Worlds was always a fan of Gable and even personally requested to work with him back in the day.
Taking that into consideration, Chad Gable wanted to pay tribute to Bray in his own special yet subtle way. So, a few weeks ago on RAW, when he was finally confronted by Uncle Howdy, he was on the receiving end of Bray's old finisher, Sister Abigail. But, rather than take it normally, the 38-year-old decided to give a little nod to his friend Windham Rotunda, and the person who is carrying the move forward, Bo Dallas, by putting, as he said a little "stank" on it.
"So like, when he gave me Windham's old finish the other night, I wanted to make it look...put some stank on it, and make it look a little extra special. To go like, 'That was for you my friend,' and now also for Bo as he carries it on," said Chad Gable.
As things stand, the story between Gable and The Wyatt Sicks is far from over. It's safe to say that things are going to get even more heated further down the road. But, at the end of the day, it's nice to see that all involved are focused on paying homage to a late great legend.
Chad Gable hopes his new family can help him deal with The Wyatt Sicks
As mentioned earlier, Chad Gable is currently beefing with his old family, Alpha Academy. The trio of Otis, Akira Tozawa, and Maxxine Dupri, in his opinion, have abandoned him and left him vulnerable to The Wyatt Sicks. But, he isn't one to just stand on ceremony, and he has taken the initiative to find a new family.
Quickly recovering from the 'betrayal' of his former pupils, Gable has managed to coax The Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile to his side. He hopes that this new family, which he has named, American Made, can help him in his efforts to steer clear and perhaps get rid of The Wyatt Sicks. And, while doing that, he is also using this opportunity to get back at Alpha Academy.
If successful, Gable would get rid of two birds with one stone. But, that's easier said than done. So, while he might have a new set of allies, he would do well to remain incredibly cautious.
