Speaking on the Kurt Angle Show, Kurt reacted to those comments.

“[Chad's character has] developed incredibly well. I just love Chad. He has such a great energy about him, great attitude. When they said, ‘You’re the next Kurt Angle,’ he took it. He said, ‘I’m proud to be the next Kurt Angle. That’s a great compliment.’ But I think Randy’s right. He’s earned his own stripes. I believe that he’s done enough of his own stuff that now he is labeled as Chad Gable. He’s no longer the next Kurt Angle. He’s Chad Gable, and he’s gonna show the whole world what he can do," said Kurt.

Gable aligned with The Creed Brothers (Julius Creed & Brutus Creed) on Monday's WWE Raw. He also uncovered the mystery of Uncle Howdy, revealing him to be Bo Dallas.
