Chad Gable wants one more Intercontinental title match with Gunther following loss on WWE RAW
As seen during the September 4th 2023 edition of WWE RAW, Gunther defeated Chad Gable to become the longest reigning Intercontinental champion of all time. Gable’s young daughter, who was at ringside, was shown crying as RAW went off the air.
After the match, Gable teased one more match against Gunther for the title…
“It’s one of those things where amateur wrestling taught me a lot about this, like having these huge opportunities and these big characters-building and breakout moments at your disposal, and you gotta make the most of them. Then when something like tonight happens and it just slips through your fingers, it’s happened before in amateur wrestling, but I learned to persevere, like find my way through it and realize that that’s not the end. I promise you, in this situation, it’s the same thing. That’s not the end, for a number of reasons. One, because I have a legacy to protect here. We can talk all the ‘haha’ stuff you want, ‘Thank you’ and ‘Shoosh.’ All that’s fun, and it’s a good time to do that to people and fun to play along with. But there’s also times where, when it’s my kids sitting in the front freaking row, and we got Gunther out there, talking to them, saying, ‘Is this your daddy,’ and chopping me in front of them, my daughter’s crying her freaking eyes out, it kind of stops being fun at a certain point. So that bothers me at a certain level. So you have my word, I swear to you, I swear to everybody, on myself and my career, that’s not the end. I’m taking the Intercontinental Championship. I want him to keep it as long as it freaking takes for me to get a rematch. Because I’m coming back for it, and I swear to god, I’m winning that championship.” (quote courtesy of Colin Tessier)
