Chad Gable: If I Face Roman Reigns, I’ll Be a Real Tough Cookie

November 4, 2026

What lies ahead for Chad Gable after losing the title?

Last Monday on RAW, the American wrestler was challenged by “All Ego” Ethan Page. Hampered by a neck injury, Chad was tested by the Canadian. After an 18-minute display of a high-quality match, Page delivered his Ego’s Plex for the victory! Ethan becomes the new Intercontinental Champion, ending Chad Gable’s remarkable 92-day reign.

Questioned by the legend Bully Ray on the Busted Open Radio show about a potential title match against Roman Reigns, Chad Gable already seems focused on the future and his world championship ambitions.

He declares :

“If I faced Roman Reigns, I would be a real tough nut to crack. I would be more combative than you’ve ever seen me, because I know what he’s capable of. There is something special about the guys who take on big fights, right? And Roman is one of them. You have to adopt a different attitude in a match like that, and it would be a huge challenge for me.”

In a live event, Chad Gable defeated CM Punk last week. Could WWE be counting on him in the future to face the OTC?
