"I've been asking for a chance to prove myself" - Chad Gable comments on singles run in WWE (Exclusive)

RAW star Chad Gable recently spoke about possibly embarking on a solo run in WWE now that he has a shot at Gunther's Intercontinental Title.

It's no secret that Gable is widely regarded among the most underrated in-ring workers on WWE's roster. After proving his mettle as a tag team specialist as part of Alpha Academy, Chad Gable has finally found himself in contention for singles gold. He recently earned the shot to challenge Gunther for his IC Title.

In an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Gable revealed that he had been clamoring for more chances as a singles wrestler. He added that now that opportunities were knocking on his door, he wanted to fully capitalize on them.

"Singles stuff, I had this great thing with Gunther on Monday. I want that to continue. I hold the victory over The Ring General. So I've been asking for a chance to prove myself as a singles guy for a long, long time, that I'm more than just a tag team guy. So this might finally be my chance to back that up," said Chad Gable.
