Jeff Jarrett believes Chad Gable should start preparing for opportunities outside WWE, even after his impressive recent success in AAA. On his My World podcast, the current AEW talent praised Gable’s emotional Mask vs. Mask match against Ludwig Kaiser at Noche de Los Grandes in Monterrey on May 30, 2026, calling it outstanding. However, Jarrett expressed skepticism that WWE would suddenly push Gable into the main event picture. Jarrett therefore advised the talented wrestler to keep an eye on promotions like New Japan Pro-Wrestling, where his elite skills could be better rewarded.
“I just don’t see the WWE [pushing him], because he worked under the Vince regime. And obviously, now he’s worked under Triple H’s regime, they’re not all of a sudden magically going to go ‘Oh yeah, he’s our guy. I would absolutely leverage with New Japan having new owners … I just think he needs to keep doing what he’s doing, but be ready to leave. I don’t see TKO coming to him and saying, ‘Hey man, you performed great in Monterrey, we’re going to give you a [pay] bump. I just don’t see that. I think he could monetize his talent more.” – Jeff Jarrett
A former amateur wrestler, Chad Gable joined WWE in 2013 and rose through NXT as part of American Alpha with Jason Jordan. The team won the NXT Tag Team Championship before capturing SmackDown gold in 2016. After the split, Gable worked as a singles star, but he has never risen above the midcard. However, his career began when he debuted as the original El Grande Americano, and his recent performances have been called one of the best talents in the world.
