Chad Gable was unable to compete for the Intercontinental Championship against GUNTHER after losing the Gauntlet match last month. Instead, he trained Sami Zayn to eventually defeat GUNTHER. This week on RAW, Gable and Zayn faced off for the title, but Gable was defeated. After the match, Gable turned heel on Zayn, attacking him and causing a rift between the two. As a result, Gable faced negative reactions from the audience and was met with profane chants after RAW.
Sami Zayn wanted to thank Chad Gable for his guidance and training sessions that helped him defeat GUNTHER at WrestleMania 40 and win the WWE Intercontinental title. To show his appreciation, Zayn offered Gable a title match on Monday Night RAW.
Gable put up a tough fight, but Zayn retained his championship with a last-minute Helluva kick. After the match, Gable initially showed sportsmanship by raising Zayn’s hand in victory before leaving the ring.
However, as Zayn approached his wife to celebrate, Gable unexpectedly attacked him from behind, continuing the assault outside the ring. The show ended with Gable locking Zayn in an ankle lock while Zayn was on the top turnbuckle, leaving fans shocked as their friendship seemed to fall apart.
As seen by footage making rounds online after the conclusion of this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, the crowd in Montreal showered Chad Gable with loud ‘F*** you Gable’ chants, as it was clear he had a ton of heat already due to his heel turn.
Sami Zayn has already vowed revenge on Gable after his actions on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW.
