Chad Gable still has a soft spot in his heart for his former American Alpha tag team partner, Jason Jordan.
Jordan had to retire from in-ring competition due to injury in 2018 and has since become a producer with WWE. Before the injury, Jordan and and Gable were one of NXT's most beloved tag teams, putting on a slew of great matches with top tag teams in NXT. The pair won the NXT Tag Team Championships and the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, as well.
Though Jordan no longer wrestles, he's still an integral part of the product and he and Chad Gable continue to work together, albeit under different circumstances. And Chad Gable is happy every time Jordan produces him. That's what Gable recently told The Ringer Wrestling Show while appearing on the podcast.
I get the biggest smile on my face anytime I see I’m working with him on a Monday. Everybody does, to be fair. Full transparency, if anybody gets to work with Jason, they are over the moon because he is so good. To his benefit, it worked because he transitioned so quickly from wrestler to producer and he knows how to communicate with everybody on our level just the perfect way. With me, especially, we could do our whole work together and never speak a word. We were like brothers when we were a tag team. It was something that was for sure meant to be. We just got along so well. Our mindsets were exactly the same. I miss training with him because we would go to the gym together every day. Training was fun. I miss that dude on the road. We get to talk and we just talk for hours. He’s one of my favorite people," Gable said.
Gable, who is definitely not El Grande Americano, definitely did not win a match against Rey Fenix at WrestleMania 41.
