WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is reportedly very high on Chad Gable despite his loss in the King of the Ring finals to Baron Corbin. 

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that McMahon sees Gables recent work as a push for him hence why he came out on SmackDown for revenge and ruined Corbin's coronation ceremony on SmackDown Live.

The short jokes are reportedly not a rib or to make fun of gable Gable, but are reportedly how Vince thinks he’ll get over.
