There's no avoiding it, people. Chad Gable will be renamed 'Shorty G' at some point. Shelton Benjamin gave the game away in this short (ahem) backstage promo that you'd be forgiven for skimming through.

Shelton called Chad "Shorty Gable" before pretending to the backstage announcer that he couldn't find his KOTR opponent. Hilarious. This is the thanks Gable gets for that excellent 205 Live encounter with Jack Gallagher in June?
