Chad Gable is trying to make his Intercontinental Championship reign something special, and he says that starts with convincing fans the title could change hands in any of his matches. Gable won the championship at SummerSlam in August and has since defended it against Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee, with both bouts drawing widespread acclaim.
Speaking with Complex Graps, Gable discussed how holding the title has opened the door for him to work longer, more high-stakes matches. According to Fightful, Wrestling Headlines and PWMania, Gable framed his approach around building genuine uncertainty into every defense so that audiences never feel safe assuming the outcome.
Gable’s matches against Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee have already been cited by multiple outlets as among the best of his career, a run that has coincided with his continued association with The Vision. The praise for those title defenses suggests WWE is positioning Gable’s Intercontinental Championship reign as a showcase for extended, competitive title matches rather than quick squash outings.
No further details on Gable’s next challenger or upcoming title defense have been reported at this time.
