Chad Gable, once hailed for his formidable presence in the WWE ring, has seen a significant shift in fan sentiment regarding his recent trajectory. While his prowess shone brightly last year, the start of 2024 has cast a shadow over his career, leaving fans discontented.
Last year, as a member of the Alpha Academy, Gable engaged in a riveting feud with Intercontinental Champion Gunther, captivating audiences with their electrifying matches. Despite falling short in clinching the title from The Ring General, Gable’s resilience and skill garnered widespread acclaim, fueling anticipation for his ascent to the top echelons of WWE.
However, the momentum he enjoyed last year has waned, with a lackluster beginning to the current year. Gable’s sole match thus far in 2024, against Ivar on the January 22 edition of RAW, ended in defeat, further exacerbating concerns about his future in the company and the sustainability of his prior push.

A recent tweet spotlighting Gable’s recent downturn drew a flood of responses from disappointed fans, underscoring their frustration with his current trajectory.
While some echoed sentiments of disappointment, questioning the direction of his character, others opined that Gable might not possess the star power to reclaim his former glory.
In a contrasting view, WWE legend Road Dogg extolled Gable’s virtues on his Oh You Didn’t Know Podcast, likening him to a modern-day John Cena. Praising Gable’s work ethic and character, Road Dogg hailed him as an exceptional talent and a commendable individual.
As speculation mounts regarding Gable’s future, the WWE Universe eagerly awaits any indication of a resurgence in his career and whether he will once again vie for Gunther’s coveted Intercontinental Championship.
