5 Best running jokes in WWE right now

#1 Chad Gable short jokes

Why does Chad Gable keep coming up short?

As annoying as the Chad Gable short jokes can be, they are also some of the best one-liners in WWE right now and actually do serve a purpose. Some will scream that it's not funny or that WWE is scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one, but it is a brilliant way for Superstars to gain heel heat.

To some, it might look like the company is trying to bury Gable, especially with how gruesome some of the short jokes have been lately, but it does a lot to help get fans behind this new underdog. It also contributes to the storytelling element of Gable's character and will make his eventual breakthrough all the more satisfying.

For example, let's assume for a moment that this feud between he and Baron Corbin keeps going strong. Not only would all of King Corbin's cruel short jokes eventually come back to bite him, but it would also create a feeling of justice for the WWE Universe. That's must-see television at its finest and gives fans someone to identify with, thus creating the next big thing.

Keep in mind that this all depends on whether WWE continues to go down this road, but with rumors of Vince McMahon wanting to push Gable as a babyface, it looks like these jokes are a way of getting to that goal.
