Cash Wheeler Speaks Positively About Chad Gable’s Return to the Spotlight in WWE

Chad Gable is back to being himself on WWE television, and at least one respected peer couldn’t be happier about it. FTR’s Cash Wheeler has gone on record expressing his pleasure at seeing Gable receive greater recognition and a bigger spotlight in the company.

Gable’s run as the Original El Grande Americano came to a close following a Mask versus Mask match against Ludwig Kaiser, who was portraying the El Grande Americano character. With that loss, the gimmick was retired and Gable reverted to his established identity on WWE programming.

The shift back to his original presentation appears to be resonating beyond the fan base. Wheeler, one-half of one of professional wrestling’s most technically accomplished tag teams, weighed in with praise for Gable — a sentiment that makes plenty of sense given the two men share a deep appreciation for in-ring craft. Gable has long been regarded as one of the most technically gifted performers in the industry, and his ability to connect with audiences in both serious and comedic contexts has made him a versatile asset wherever he’s been placed on the card.

Whether this renewed focus on Gable translates into a significant singles push remains to be seen, but the support from fellow wrestlers is a telling sign that many inside the locker room view this moment as overdue. For a performer who has consistently delivered regardless of his positioning, getting that extra layer of recognition from peers like Wheeler only adds to the sense that Gable’s best days in WWE may still be ahead of him.
