Likewise, in the 2012 Summer Olympics, he again defeated Keitani Graham from the Federated States of Micronesia. 

Professional Wrestling Career- Debut in the WWE

Already a state championship and Olympic participant, Chad was destined to make it big as a professional wrestler.

And what could be better than the WWE? Hence in November 2013, Gable, who still went by his original name, signed a contract with the professional wrestling promotion WWE.

Right after getting assigned to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, he opted for the ring named Chad Gable.

Then finally, on September 5, 2014, Chad made his debut at an NXT house show where he defeated Troy McClain. However, in his television debut next year, he lost to Tyler Breeze.

Just a newcomer, Chad then began coaxing Jason Jordan to form a new partnership after his dissolution with Tye Dillinger.

In July, the two made their debut as a team and went against Elias Samson and Steve Cutler; it was a success.

Likewise, the duo became a fan favorite even after eliminating the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament. Their fighting spirit and resilience were what made them enjoyable.

By the NXt match in January, the duo, Jordan, and Gable began using the name American Alpha. They won the NXT Tag Team Championship at the NXT TakeOver: Dallas but failed to keep it.

Moreover, on July 19, the American Alpha was drafted to the SmackDown brand. In their debut match, the pair faced The Vandevillians and emerged victoriously.

The two then teamed up with The Usos and The Hype Bros at the SummerSlam to defeat The Ascension. 

During the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Gable injured his knee, making American Alpha unable to take part at Backlash. Because of the injury, the team lost many future matches as well.

However, on December 27, American Alpha became the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions after defeating Randy Orton and Luker Harper of The Wyatt Family.

After that, the two successfully defended their title against other teams, including The Ascension, Usos, Breezango, and more.

In July, the American Alpha officially disbanded as Jason Jordan moved to the Raw brand as a single fighter.

Tag Team Specialist and Shorty G

After the disbandment of American Alpha, Gable teamed up with Shelton Benjamin. For their first tag team debut, the two claimed victory over The Ascension, followed by another victory against The Hype Bros.

Since the formation, Gable and Benjamin took part in many tag team championships but had yet to earn the victory. Because of it, the two grew more and more villainous.

After failing to claim the tag team championship, the two began wrestling as heels until their split by the Superstar Shakeup back in 2019.

During the 2019 WWE Superstar Shake-Up, Chad moved to SmackDown and continued as a solo act.

In his debut match, he defeated Gentleman Jack Gallagher and emerged victorious in their rematch as well.

He was also one of the 16 competitors to take part in the King of the Ring. After remaining victorious till the finale, Gable was defeated by Baron Corbin, shattering his dream to win the title.

To make fun of him, Corbin asked the announcer to call him ‘Shorty G,’ which he certainly did. Since then, it became his ring name.

After the survivors series, Chad again continued making teams and competing in Team challenges.

Moreover, it was announced that Gable might finally shed the name ‘Short G’ from his introduction. Not to mention, fans were not so happy with the name in the first place.

According to them, the name not only is ridiculous but makes Chad a gimmick and joke, who happens to be one of the hard-working wrestlers out there.
