Chad Gable spoke about the incredible four-way tag team match from WWE WrestleMania 39 and its importance

At WrestleMania 39, Chad Gable was involved in a four-way tag team alongside his partner, Otis.

Speaking on a previous edition of the Out of Character podcast, the former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion discussed the importance of the match. He said:

"I think when that match got announced (men’s tag showcase at WrestleMania), a lot of people thought, oh, they’re just throwing this on the card to get a bunch of guys a match, you know, whatever, fair enough. Butewe didn’t look at it that way. I think all of us treated it like, this is our chance, chip on our shoulder. We got a chance to prove something here that not only did we deserve to be on this show from the beginning but if they’re gonna do it and call it a showcase thing, that’s exactly what we’re gonna give ‘em and don’t be surprised if going forward, this becomes a tradition where they do this showcase thing because we showed them what we can do when they give us an opportunity like that."
