As noted, this week’s WWE SmackDown saw Chad Gable defeat Andrade in an upset to advance to the King of the Ring semi-finals next week against Elias.

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle took to Twitter after the show to praise Gable.

Angle wrote, “To me, @WWEGable was never an underdog. I knew early on how great he is, and was. He’s now getting the opportunity to prove how f’ing great he truly is. They say he’s the next Kurt Angle. He is not!!!! He’s Chad Gable, and he’s gonna win King of the Ring!!!!”
