Rumours abound that WWE might actually change Chad Gable's name to 'Shorty G'. They've reportedly applied for a trademark, and now they're making height jokes at Gable's expense on SmackDown.

The sign Shelton Benjamin put up during Chad's promo read, "You must be at least this tall to participate in the King Of The Ring Tournament". It was deliberately put up high so that Gable would look up at it. Sorry, haters, it does look like the 'Shorty G' talk has merit.
