Mike Johnson of PWInsider brought up an interesting tidbit about Chad Gable on his audio show.
Johnson speculated that WWE could be renaming Gable based on a recent trademark that the company filed.
Here is what Johnson said (h/t to Ringside News for the quotes below):
“The future of Chad Gable might be obscured a bit. There was a promo that they released after SmackDown with Shelton Benjamin talking about King of the Ring and Chad Gable was standing next to him. He said, ‘hey Shelton what’s up?’ Shelton looked at him and said, ‘Shorty!’ and walked away.”
“We noted a couple weeks ago that WWE has copyrighted the name ‘Shorty G’ for a potential character. If Chad Gable is going to be ‘Shorty G,’ if that’s where they’re going with it — I don’t sense a bunch of upward mobility in his future with his character.”
Take this with a grain of salt. Johnson does bring up an interesting point though. WWE trademarking ‘Shorty G’ and Gable being called “Shorty” for a few weeks now doesn’t seem like a coincidence. For the sake of Gable, let’s hope this speculation is wrong.
