Former WWE champion to quit RAW after getting squashed by his rival in upcoming match? Potential situation explored
The upcoming episode of WWE RAW will be the final edition of the red brand before its highly anticipated debut on Netflix. For this week's RAW, the Stamford-based promotion has already announced multiple matches and segment. One of these matches is a singles bout between Otis and Chad Gable.
Over the past few months, fans saw Otis and Gable engage in many heated altercations. Master Gable is already frustrated with Otis's actions, as he refuses to align with his villainous tactics. It’s possible that if the 33-year-old Otis squashes Chad Gable on the upcoming RAW, the former Alpha Academy leader might decide to quit RAW and move to SmackDown.
The rationale behind this possibility lies in the recent introduction of the transfer window concept, which allows superstars to switch brands. Given Chad Gable's clear disdain for Otis, losing to him would indeed be an embarrassing blow. As a result, if Master Gable suffers a loss, he might choose to leave the red brand. Following this, fans could potentially see Nick Aldis bringing Gable and the rest of American Made to the blue brand as part of the transfer window.
Having Chad Gable on Friday Nights could open fresh storylines and new directions for the American Made leader. For instance, he could be booked against United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura in a mid-card title feud if he moves to SmackDown.
It will certainly be interesting to see what unfolds in next week’s edition of the red brand, as Chad Gable locks horns with his former ally Otis in a singles match.
WWE might pull out a major move if Chad Gable moves to SmackDown
If the above scenario comes true and Chad Gable moves to SmackDown as part of the transfer window, WWE could potentially even bring an end to the American Made faction. Currently, the Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile are aligned with Gable in a villainous faction.
However, the transfer window provides the Stamford-based promotion an opportunity to establish Master Gable as a solo competitor on the blue brand. A singles run for the 38-year-old star would open the door to various dream matches on SmackDown. Moreover, the Stamford-based promotion could elevate Gable as a singles star and position him in the upper tier of the mid-card division.
Although Gable has already faced Gunther in multiple matches, making another attempt for the world title seem less realistic, his move to SmackDown could create new opportunities.
With Cody Rhodes as the Undisputed WWE Champion on SmackDown, Gable could set his sights on the title and potentially earn a title shot against him.
