Prior to their in-ring encounter on “Raw,” Gable approached Penta, Mysterio, and Lee backstage to deliver another round of apologies, all of which were accepted. As added advice, Mysterio encouraged Gable to continue reflecting inward and even further back to his pre-mask days as some of his other actions might also be sources of regret. In the eyes of Bully Ray, Mysterio’s remarks suggest that Gable’s next move may involve making amends with Alpha Academy, whom he abandoned in 2024.

“I kind of was like, oh no, because who did Chad Gable wrong in his past before he put the mask on? [Otis and Akira Tozawa]. One of the things that we said after this match, about a week or two ago is we hoped they don’t just put him back with Otis and Tozawa. That comment made me think that that’s where he’s going,” Ray said. “I would love to see him apologize to Otis and Tozawa because if Otis and Tozawa forgive him, you become more over in the fans eyes. You’re going back and you’re writing all the wrongs. But does that mean that Alpha Academy gets back together? The new and improved Alpha Academy, this big babyface unit that is going to go on and do what?”

Whether Gable potentially reunites with the Alpha Academy stable remains to be seen. Nevertheless, Ray expects Gable to at least approach them on “Raw” in the near future to provide their previous split some closure.
