Charles Edward Betts (born March 8, 1986)[8] is an American professional wrestler and former amateur wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Chad Gable, and is the leader of the stable American Made. He is a four-time tag team champion in WWE.

A prolific amateur wrestler who competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Betts signed with WWE in late 2013 and tested training before he was deployed to WWE's developmental branch, NXT. Working as 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 2016, where they won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship before disbanding in mid-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.
