Kurt Angle has always been a big fan of Chad Gable, picking him as one of his final opponents during his retirement run in 2019.
Gable has been up and down during his time on the WWE main roster, finding success as a two-time Tag Team Champion but also dealing with an ill-fated Shorty G gimmick.
Speaking on his Kurt Angle Show podcast, Angle weighed in on Gable's potential in the company.
"Chad has been underutilized, and I believe it's his size, even though he's as strong as an ox. He does a deadlift German with 300-pounders and it's impressive. To do something like that, that's a talent you want to utilize. He's the real deal. He might not look that big, but his strength, technique, and ability show in those matches. If you put reigns on the kid, he's not going to succeed, but if you let him go and let him do his thing, he's going to be a huge star. Someday, they're going to utilize him correctly," said Angle. "People get injured, main event wrestlers especially because they are putting in the most work. Eventually, he's going to get called up into a spot and he's going to blow their minds and they'll keep him in that spot. It's going to happen eventually."
Angle concluded by saying, "I think Chad Gable is going to get that chance. All wrestlers eventually do unless they end up quitting or get fired."
Gable now finds himself in a partnership with Otis. The duo competed against Rey & Dominik Mysterio on Friday's SmackDown, where Gable unlocked a new side of Otis.
