Speaking on Busted Open, Mark Henry heaped praise on Gable and noted the reaction to the latter’s return. He said:

“He became bigger than he was before in this return… Anytime his face appeared the crowd went nuts. It was an elite pop. It wasn’t good Chad Gable it was ‘Wow, we choose him pop.’”

Henry further compared Gable to Kurt Angle, explaining how size did not make much difference in the business.

“I think that Chad Gable has the ability now to go from Grande Americano to Kurt Angle type of respect. Because he deserves it. That dude is an Olympian, he’s entertaining, size don’t matter with him. Size didn’t matter with (Chris) Benoit, it didn’t matter with Rey Mysterio, it didn’t matter with Eddie Guerrero, it’s irrelevant when you’re good. Chad Gable is good good.”

Chad Gable apologized to Rey Fenix on WWE SmackDown for his actions

Chad Gable’s stint as El Grande Americano and his ensuing actions were not taken kindly by Lucha Libre stars like Rey Fenix.

On WWE SmackDown, Chad Gable confronted Fenix backstage and apologized to him. He said:

“We had an awesome match last year at WrestleMania, but I did it under false pretenses. The longer I wore the mask, the more I realized this isn’t a joke. You’re taking on a responsibility to a culture, to a people, to an entire nation, and I made a mockery of that. I’m sorry. I’m asking for forgiveness.”

It remains to be seen what Chad Gable does next in WWE.
