Shorty Gable[edit]

As stupid as this is (and I mean wtf WWE), this is official so stop reverting a sourced name change. He was announced as such multiple times, across multiple matches, had the nameplate say "Shorty Gable" and the commentators referred to him as such nonstop.

As I was told to go here multiple times, so 2 days after I originally did I'll make a second message with 2 additional sources:

"WWE Change's Superstars Name". ringsidenews.com. Ringside News. October 11, 2019.
"Shorty Gable WWE Profile". wwe.com. WWE. October 14, 2019.

Not that anybody goes here. 75.121.31.179 (talk) 19:19, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the WWE profile: Through 13 October, it still referred to him as "Chad". It was changed sometime during the day on 14 October to "Shorty". So, it appears that the change is being made and slowly proliferating out. —C.Fred (talk) 20:28, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
