Charles Edward Betts (born March 8, 1986) is an American professional wrestler and former amateur wrestler. As of November 2013, he is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Chad Gable, and is the current WWE Intercontinental Champion in his first reign.
A prolific amateur wrestler who competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Betts signed with WWE in November 2013 and tested training before he was deployed to WWE's developmental branch, NXT. Working as a tag team wrestler, he won the NXT Tag Team Championship with his partner Jason Jordan as American Alpha, before being called up to the main roster in July 2016, where they won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship before disbanding in July 2017. He formed a tag team with Shelton Benjamin before being traded to Raw in the 2018 Superstar Shake-up and then forming a team with Bobby Roode, winning the Raw Tag Team Championship with him in December 2018. With this win, he became the second man (after Jordan) to have won the NXT, SmackDown, and Raw Tag Team Championships. In January 2022, Gable won the Raw Tag Team Championship for a second time with Alpha Academy tag partner, Otis.
In early 2025, he began simultaneously portraying the masked luchador El Grande Americano. Under this persona, he won his first singles championship, the WWE Speed Championship. Due to injury, Ludwig Kaiser took over the role of Americano in June 2025; Gable returned as Americano in 2026 before reverting to Chad Gable at Noche de Los Grandes.
