WWE Superstar Chad Gable has been very vocal about the opportunities taken away from him and given to a new star. Today, John Bradshaw Layfield, aka JBL, came out to Master Gable and called out El Grande Americano.

Earlier this year, El Grande Americano made his first appearance for WWE as a fan when he tried to interfere in an ongoing match. However, Adam Pearce decided to sign the luchador to Monday Night RAW, where he defeated Dragon Lee in his debut match for the company. He will now face Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 41.

This was the beginning of Americano taking opportunities from stars like Chad Gable. Today, WWE Hall of Famer JBL took to X/Twitter to support Chad Gable. The veteran stated that Master Gable deserved a spot at WrestleMania 41 instead of a newcomer in the industry against Rey Mysterio.

The former World Champion made potentially controversial comments referring to Americano as "these guys" and claiming they are taking their jobs, implying bias against Chad Gable.

"I see that El Grande Americano has a match at Wrestlemania and ⁦@WWEGable doesn’t. We have to do something about these guys coming here and taking our jobs. #justiceforChad," JBL tweeted.
