Chad Gable Embraces Mentor Role: “When Did I Become the Old Guy?”

WWE RAW Superstar Chad Gable has embraced a new chapter in his career as a mentor to younger talent, particularly within his stable, American Made. In a recent appearance on The Jay Ferruggia Show, Gable reflected on his evolving role within WWE.

“When these younger guys come to me for advice, I know I need to give them my full attention,” Gable explained. “People did that for me when I was coming up, and now it’s my turn to pay it forward.”

The transition to mentor has brought unexpected growth in Gable’s own approach to teaching.

“What’s really special about these relationships is how they’ve changed me,” he noted. “When they come with questions, I find myself being more thoughtful and deliberate with my responses, moving beyond just giving the expected answers.”

The shift in his status became apparent to Gable over the past year and a half, as he found himself increasingly sought out for guidance.

“There was this moment when I realized more of the roster was coming to me for advice, and I thought, ‘Wait – when did I become the old guy?'”

While the realization caught him by surprise, Gable has found fulfillment in his role as a mentor. His experience exemplifies WWE’s tradition of veteran performers helping to develop the next generation of talent, continuing a cycle that has long been vital to the company’s success.
