Chad Gable earns WWE Intercontinental title match

Chad Gable is next in line for an Intercontinental title match.

Gable defeated Tommaso Ciampa, Matt Riddle, and Ricochet in a four-way match on Monday’s Raw to become the next contender for Gunther. The finish of the match had Gable attempting the Chaos Theory suplex on Riddle and Ricochet. However, he managed to get it on Ciampa and pinned him to win the match. He exited the ring and celebrated with his son after the match, as Raw was in his hometown of Minneapolis.

A backstage segment was shown prior to the match where Ricochet argued with Adam Pearce over the finish to his SummerSlam match against Logan Paul, which saw Paul use brass knuckles to defeat Ricochet. Pearce apologized and put Ricochet in the four-way match, saying all four participants were one win away from greatness.

On last week’s Raw, Gable survived a five-minute challenge against Gunther. However, Gunther didn’t accept the loss and ordered for the match to restart. It did, with Gunther eventually winning the match.

At SummerSlam this past Saturday, Gunther successfully retained the Intercontinental title, defeating Drew McIntyre.
