Chad Gable, whose real name is Charles Betts, is a professional wrestler currently signed with WWE. Known for his exceptional technical wrestling skills and athletic ability, Gable has a strong background as an amateur wrestler, having competed in the 2012 London Olympics as part of the U.S. wrestling team.
In WWE, Gable initially gained prominence as part of the tag team “American Alpha” with Jason Jordan. The duo was highly acclaimed for their in-ring chemistry and performances, capturing the NXT Tag Team Championships and later the SmackDown Tag Team Championships following their move to the main roster. Their style was a throwback to classic wrestling, emphasizing grappling and mat-based techniques, which resonated well with fans.
After American Alpha disbanded due to Jordan’s injury, Gable continued to compete in the tag team division with various partners, including Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Roode, with whom he also won tag team titles. Despite his success in tag team wrestling, Gable has struggled to find a consistent push as a singles competitor, although his talent and capability are evident in his matches.
Gable’s character has evolved over the years, including a stint where he adopted the moniker “Shorty G” in an attempt to turn an underdog storyline into a motivational angle. He later reverted to Chad Gable, refocusing on his Olympic wrestler persona that emphasizes his genuine athletic prowess and technical expertise.
Throughout his career, Gable has been praised for his work ethic and in-ring abilities, which have made him a respected figure among peers and wrestling enthusiasts. His commitment to his craft and his ability to deliver high-quality matches continue to make him a valuable asset to WWE.
