The Special Olympics USA Games is coming to Minnesota in June 2026 and a WWE star has been appointed as an official ambassador.
The event takes place between June 20 and June 26, 2026 and “will bring together 4,000 athletes, 1,500 coaches, 10,000 volunteers and 75,000 fans from all 50 states” according to the official website.
Minnesota’s own Chad Gable has confirmed that he will be an official ambassador for the upcoming event in a video which can be seen below this news story.
Gable has previously spoken about his connection to the Special Olympics and revealed that he has a nephew with epilepsy who is heavily involved.
In 2023, Drew McIntyre attended the Special Olympics World Games in his role as Special Olympics Global Ambassador with the news of his attendance being confirmed in June of that year.
At the time of that report, Mary Davis, Special Olympics Chief Executive Officer, stated that:
“WWE is an important voice in the inclusion movement.
“We cherish our partnership with WWE and will continue to promote our shared vision of an inclusive and unified society for all.”
Gable is currently a member of American Made, having previously been the leader of Alpha Academy in WWE.
Following the dissolution of Alpha Academy, Otis has recently commented on the moment he rebelled against Gable on the June 17 episode of WWE Raw.
