WWE Rumor Roundup: Vince McMahon has no problem with former World Champion joining another company, Superstar's in-ring career could be over - 27th October 2019

#7 Shorty G opens up on his backstage interactions with Vince McMahon

Chad Gable, who has been repackaged as Shorty G on SmackDown, spoke to Sports Illustrated and opened up about his relationship with Vince McMahon.

Gable said that constantly pitched ideas to the WWE boss and stated that Vince McMahon is someone who has helped him a lot in his career.

McMahon convinced Gable why the new character is the best way forward and the former NXT Champion is excited to go all-in with his fresh gimmick.

Gable also revealed how he recorded vignettes at his home and sent them to Vince McMahon. He made it clear to the WWE top brass that he wasn't going away and that he wanted to be featured consistently on TV. It paid dividends as Gable has been getting a lot of time on WWE programming while also being featured in one of the marquee matches of Crown Jewel.

Here's what Gable told SI's, Justin Barrasso:

“Vince finally realized, after me coming into his office over and over, listening to vignettes I created at home and reading pitches I wrote, that I’m not going away. I hated splitting up with Jason Jordan. He was my best friend in the world and we were having great matches.“That was the point where I could have rolled over and died or waited for them to come up with something for me, but I didn’t do that—I came up with a new idea and pitched it every week. They didn’t necessarily run with a lot of those ideas, but it showed them they’ve got a guy who is hungry and ready to make an impact.”

Vince is someone who has helped me a lot. He started giving me ideas and explained why a lot of my really serious ideas weren’t working. I started to understand his vision, and now I’m off and running with this new character. I’m going to have a great time with it and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into it.” H/t Credit: Sports Illustrated

It doesn't matter what you think of Gable's Shorty G character, the 33-year-old Superstar is motivated and we're sure he'll make it work.
