It's a combination of

>>11492852 in that they had a bunch of Shorty G shirts made for Enzo, who had a quick exit after that thot legal battle he hid from the office. So, business wants to recoup costs, and Gable is given a shit salad test to see if he can rise to the challenge or if he gets a bad attitude - the business is full of self marks (and you somewhat have to be to get anywhere) and they'll have to do things they don't like sometimes, and they can't have them run off the reservation the first time they do it in a big angle, so they test them. Perhaps for Gable it was a character test - think of how many roster spots are filled by dudes that boil down to just "he's good in the ring," " wants to be the best," "the ultimate competitor" blah blah blah, Vince thought he had a bland Kurt Angle clone until he saw Gable could run with it.
I think about Drew's boo-boo face vs Roman - this shit is why you're going down the card, just play your part without phoning it in when you don't get your way
