The Miz believes a particular WWE performer has what it takes to be the next breakout star in the company.
Appearing on the latest Out of Character with Ryan Satin, the former two-time WWE Champion discussed several different topics, including the importance of a character in the promotion if you ever hope to get over with the audience.
When bringing up an example of someone who has found their character and risen to new heights in the company, The Miz brought up Chad Gable of Alpha Academy.
The Miz said:
“Chad Gable first came in with Jason Jordan, right. Amazing tag team incredible. [But it] didn’t click like it didn’t get to the upper echelons, but [they] won things and did stuff and was in there. Then they took him and said Alright, you’re going to be a singles competitor. You’ll be Shorty G. And everyone was like, ‘What?’ Honestly, sometimes it’s just I see something in you. Let’s see if we can get something out of you. Let’s see if we can find something that’s different than everybody else. And most times, the fans or the critics will be like, ‘why are they doing this? This guy went to the Olympics.’ Like we’re just trying to find something here. In my mind, that’s what they’re doing. So then he did it. He took it, and I thought he did exceptional at it.
“He didn’t get to the upper echelons, or whatever, but he took that character and made something out of it. And now you look at Chad Gable. Guess what? He found his voice. He found his character. And now you look at him and you go, ‘oh wow, this is a moneymaker.’ This character is a moneymaker all the way. I look at that and I go. He’s ready. He’s prepared. Now he just needs the battles to do work himself up, and every time they take something and it’s like, you won’t be doing this. You won’t be doing that. Take it with a grain of salt. Be like, alright, no problem. Whatever you give me, I’m gonna make it gold. And that’s what he’s been doing. And as he keeps doing that, we’re gonna see Chad Gable be a contender. And a superstar. And I think a main event or a person that put asses in seats. So I think if he keeps working at it and keeps going, he’s going to be something even more special than he already is.”
Chad Gable picked up a victory on last night’s Raw alongside his Alpha Academy tag team partner Otis and Kevin Owens in a six-man tag team match against Ezekiel and The Street Profits.
