Given his in-ring skills, Gable could easily be the next big thing
WWE is struggling to make main event stars at present, which is why the likes of Ali, Buddy Murphy, and Cedric Alexander have all been given huge pushes on WWE TV recently, but none were able to make it very far in the King of the Ring tournament.

With SmackDown making the move over to FOX, WWE is aware that they can't depend on Roman Reigns to be at the forefront of the action on both shows anymore so they need to push someone else into the main event picture and create some new names for both brands.
Chad Gable is exclusively on SmackDown Live so it would be interesting if he was able to pick up the win and be the star of the Blue Brand as the company looks to make the move over to Fox on October 4th.

After all, Gable is a former Olympic wrestler and a talented WWE Superstar who can step up to anyone in the ring and still put on a good show, so he would be a fantastic choice to win the tournament if the only other option is Baron Corbin.
