Chad Gable Is In Trouble After Disrespecting Sami Zayn In Front Of His Wife, NBA Legend Issues Serious Warning
summary
- Chad Gable officially became a heel on the April 15 episode of WWE RAW.
- To join the dark side, Chad Gable attacked Sami Zayn after their match on the main event of Monday Night RAW.
WWE had a spectacular showing on the latest episode of RAW, as several memorable moments took place on the show. Rhea Ripley’s injury became the talk of the town after the show, but another thing that caught the eye of many was Chad Gable’s heel turn when he attacked the Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn.
This happened after Zayn retained his title due to his incredible match with Chad in the main event of the show. The Canadian-born performer was hugging his wife after the victory, when Gable came out of nowhere to grab Zayn from behind and deliver a suplex to the floor.
It was apparently confirmed that Gable had officially joined the dark side, and as he did it to disrespect Sami in his hometown, he got a lot of boos. But it seems he’s in even more trouble now, as the 61-year-old NBA legend issued a stern warning to the 38-year-old WWE star following his attack on the fan-favorite superstar.

It was none other than Charles Barkley who did, as he shared his thoughts on the segment during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. He said, “You What do you know, I’m flying there and a*s of ugh gable. The man whooped [Sami’s] In front of his wife and parents. I didn’t like it at all” (via: X)
Looking at the comments, it’s clear that Charles was unhappy with Chad’s attack on the underdog from the underground. Moreover, given the way he expressed his anger, it remains to be seen if Gable responds to him. If the WWE star does, it will be interesting to see what happens next in this regard.
Chad Gable had a major role in Sami Zayn’s WrestleMania 40 win
However Chad turned heel on the April 15 episode of RAW for outing Sami in front of his wife. But it’s important to note that he had a major role in Sami Zayn’s WrestleMania 40 win over Gunther. In fact, he was probably the one who helped Zayn build the confidence that he could end the Ring General’s historic title reign.
It all started after the Canadian-born Gable defeated Gable to book his spot for the Intercontinental Championship match at The Show of Shows. After that, Chad was seen inspiring the underdog from the underground on a number of occasions and this is probably what helped him win the prestigious title at WrestleMania XL.
The former amateur wrestler was instrumental in helping Zayn win, giving the fan-favorite star a title shot. But unable to defeat Sami Zayn, the 5-foot-8 in-ring star attacked Sami from behind and the American Alpha member’s surprise attack shocked WWE fans.
What’s next for the rivalry between Sami Zayn and Chad Gable?
With Chad Gable’s ferocious attack on the Intercontinental Champion, that too in front of his wife, Chad generated a lot of heat among the audience. In fact, many believe he is now one of the most hated names in the organization. But fans are also wondering what will happen after the rivalry between the former friends.
As far as the reason behind Chad’s attack is concerned, it is probably because he lost his chance to win the IC title and he can go after it again. But this time, his dark side will be with him and that could be what works in his favor to finally win a singles championship in the company. Zayn, on the other hand, will be inspired to exact his revenge on the heel-in-ring star.

Taking all these factors into consideration, it is safe to say that these two will push each other to their limits in the coming weeks. But it will also be interesting to see how Sami Zayn reacts to the beating he took from Chad Gable on RAW. Moreover, it remains to be seen how this storyline builds for the promotion’s next PLE, Backlash.
