Chad Gable will remember this exceptional title defense for a long time.
Last night in Mexico City, the Intercontinental Champion delivered the performance of a lifetime by retaining the title against Dragon Lee. The luchador gave it his all, but was forced to submit to the American’s submission hold. In the wake of this epic showdown, lauded by critics, Chad Gable thanked the fans on social media and showed respect to Dragon Lee.
He states :
“Mexico, you have lived up to all our expectations last night! The atmosphere, the crowd… It’s a night I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you. Dragon Lee, you are a true competitor, it was an honor to share the ring with you.”
“Last night, we wrote history. For the very first time, the Intercontinental Championship was defended in Mexico. This title has toured the world and now Mexico officially belongs to that history. Whether in the United States or anywhere else in the world, I will continue to defend this title.”
Chad Gable did not hesitate to console the poor Dragon Lee backstage after the encounter. What lies ahead for the champion?
