Drew McIntyre Fails to Capture Intercontinental Championship, Chad Gable Becomes Number One Contender

Drew McIntyre’s quest to win the Intercontinental Championship came to a disappointing end at SummerSlam. However, WWE wasted no time in finding a new top contender for the title. On this week’s Monday Night Raw, Adam Pearce announced a Fatal 4-Way match featuring Ricochet, Tommaso Ciampa, Matt Riddle, and Chad Gable.

The Fatal 4-Way match was an intense battle, with all four competitors giving it their all. In the end, it was Chad Gable who emerged victorious by pinning Ciampa. This win earned Gable the opportunity to challenge for the Intercontinental Championship.

This match comes on the heels of a recent encounter between Gable and GUNTHER, the current Intercontinental Champion. Gable made it clear that he had his sights set on GUNTHER after SummerSlam. Now, he is getting the chance to fulfill that promise, although the exact date of the match is yet to be determined.

After his victory, Gable celebrated with his family, adding an emotional touch to the moment:
