In the world of professional wrestling, contract drama is almost as intense as the in-ring action. The latest star to find himself in the spotlight is none other than Chad Gable. With his WWE contract set to expire late next week, fans and industry insiders alike are buzzing with speculation about his future.
According to Fightful Select, Gable’s current deal is hanging by a thread. Unless WWE and Gable come to terms soon, the suplex specialist could be hitting the free-agent market. Gable, who has been a mainstay on WWE TV under Triple H’s creative direction since 2022, has become a fan favorite with his Alpha Academy stable, even after turning heel on the April 15 edition of “WWE Raw.”
WWE is reportedly eager to retain Gable’s talents and are working to finalize a new contract. However, if negotiations fall through, Gable is expected to attract significant interest from other wrestling promotions and MMA organizations. It seems everyone wants a piece of the former Olympian, who has proven to be a versatile and charismatic performer.
Gable’s journey in WWE began in 2013, and since then, he has racked up impressive accomplishments. As part of American Alpha with Jason Jordan, he captured the NXT and WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championships. He later won the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships with Bobby Roode and Otis. Recently, Gable has been eyeing the WWE Intercontinental Championship, a goal that might remain unfulfilled if he doesn’t sign a new contract.
