Corey Graves believes fans will see more talent shine like Chad Gable.
Chad Gable has been with WWE for over a decade, and while many fans recognized his talent, he wasn't always featured on television the way fans had hoped. With Triple H leading creative, Gable has become a staple on television and is involved in one of the top storylines as he has been in the Intercontinental Title picture since late 2023.
Speaking on Over The Top with Peter Rosenberg, WWE SmackDown announcer Corey Graves explained how Gable has managed to shine.
"I think you're going to see more frequently, in the next year-18 months or so, you're going to see a lot of superstars who came up through the system, through NXT, maybe the Black & Gold NXT days or the earlier days of NXT, who came up to Raw or SmackDown and, let's just say they weren't looked at through the same lens as when they were succeeding in NXT. Different set of eyes and different set of hands controlling things. You're going to see a few more superstars become more authentic versions of themselves. Perhaps who we thought or someone up top thought they were going to be initially, or early on, and they were forced to detour for one reason or another. It happens. Frequently. Probably more common than getting to succeed at a high level as your authentic self. Rarely is your final vision where you end up. Gable is a shining example of somebody who was typecast incorrectly for many years. Now, finally, you have a different chef in the kitchen saying, 'No, we just need to do it differently,' and boom, here we are talking about how amazing he's been," said Graves.
Gable was not murdered by the Wyatt Sick6 at the end of last Monday's WWE Raw and he will be in action on the June 24th episode.
