Chad Gable reflects on "dying."
On the June 17th episode of WWE Raw, the Wyatt Sicks made their debut by laying out production people and destroying the backstage area. Among the casualties were Chad Gable, who was seen bleeding from the head.
"That was quite a night," Gable told Chris Van Vliet on Insight. "Out of everything I've done over the past couple of years, the response to that was so out of this world insane. People thought, I can't tell you the amount of people that thought something actually happened to me. I went to Church that Sunday and I ran into a little kid who was watching, I was kind of hiding my head from him, and he was making his way around me to get a look at my head. 'Where did it go?' 'I fixed it. I went to the hospital. It was bad.' 'What did they do to you?' 'You'll have to tune in tomorrow night.' They were into it."
When asked how it affected the character of Chad Gable, Gable replied, "You saw him definitely rattled like he's never been before, which was cool. What this storyline has done, is it came at this awesome time where I had just done the turn. I had become the abusive coaching character, which people got a whole new look. I thought it did wonders for me. Then, all of a sudden, congruently, the Wyatts came in and forced me to be vulnerable. We get Chad Gable, who is this abusive over the top, shows no vulnerability. Now he's forced to. You're getting these two dynamic stories at the same time. I benefit from this in, not a lot of people get to dip their hands in so many different stories at one time. It's like every time I show up to TV each week, 'What are we doing with this story? What are doing for this one and this one?' My toes are in so many things right now. It's such a great place to be."
Finally, Gable was asked what the initial plan was for him.
"It was going to be that I was the lone guy laid out, initially. We didn't really know how and to what degree. When we got it ready to go, we were blown away. 'Holy crap, what exactly happened to me here?' We're not sure. We just ran with it. There was no plan. We kind of saw how it worked out and it worked out to our advantage better than we expected because the response to that, from an audience standpoint, was out of this world. It helped the intro of the family, their aura, and they've been doing so great with that. You can tell the audience is taken aback by them every single week. It's something else in the arena when they show up," said Gable.
Bo Dallas (Uncle Howdy) and the Wyatt Sicks continued to haunt Gable for weeks until Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Erick Rowan made their in-ring debut as the Wyatt Sicks, defeating Gable and The Creed Brothers (Julius Creed & Brutus Creed).
