Chad Gable looks as if a person on a mission, and his current goal is to win a title he has been chasing for quite a while — the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
Gable has fallen short in his attempts to win the title since 2023, when he was unable to defeat GUNTHER. In an interview with Cody Rhodes on the “What Do You Want To Talk About?” podcast, Gable named winning a singles title as his next goal.
“Without being a complete cliche, I feel I would like to win a singles championship at this point for myself. And only for my legacy, with a view to take the subsequent step. You listed off a few of my achievements initially. They’re all tag team stuff, which is great. And so they were all — I even have fond memories of all of it — but like, where’s the singles stuff? I would like to persuade myself that I’m what I even have said I’m,” said Gable. “I’m an enormous guy about like, if I put something out within the universe, I even have to deliver. I feel that is something that is been a strength of mine and served me well my whole life, whether it’s for amateur championships or simply even attending to the WWE, things like that. Like, if I say something publicly and make it known, I see to it that it gets done.”
Gable admitted that not having a singles title is weighing on his mind. He also recalled how he swore to god on television that he would win the title, revealing how he was taught as a baby to only swear to god if he knew he could achieve what he set out to attain.
The previous WWE Tag Team Champion may have the possibility to attain his goal at SummerSlam, where he’ll face Penta on Night 2 of the event.
