WWE teases an exciting new tag team on SmackDown



[ad_1]

Otis scored a pretty significant victory on WWE SmackDown. Former Mr. Money in the Bank beat Dolph Ziggler in a squash match which is a huge win after his loss to Seth Rollins last week. After the game, Chad Gable made Otis an offer that he couldn’t refuse.

Chad Gable’s rebirth on SmackDown

Chad Gable has recovered since he stopped being Shorty G. After being brutally destroyed by Lars Sullivan, Gable stopped being the fighter who serves to be an embarrassment and nothing more. Once again, he will showcase his Olympic skill set and incredible prowess in wrestling.

After Otis beat Ziggler, Gable faced him backstage. He praised Otis for his commanding performance in the ring and offered to be his mentor. He then handed Otis a brochure for his new service, the Alpha Academy.

Otis left with the pamphlet in hand, sparking speculation and rumors that WWE once again restricted Chad Gable’s talents. Putting him on a tag team with Otis does nothing more than diminish his star-making abilities.

Will Otis be ready, willing and ‘gable’?

Gable is a two-time tag team champion. He is one of the only wrestlers to win tag team gold on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. Alongside Jason Jordan, American Alpha won the NXT tag titles and the SmackDown tag titles. He won the Raw Tag titles with Bobby Roode in 2019.

The potential new tag team could give Gable more time on television, due to Otis’ popularity. The former MITB briefcase became one of the most popular fighters of both brands. This led to him being pushed as Mr. Money in the Bank.

Otis was also on a losing streak, prior to his win against Ziggler. He lost his briefcase and his best friend to a shocking betrayal of the latter in Hell in a Cell. Tucker’s betrayal cost Otis the chance to be World Champion, and it gave The Miz that chance.

Lining up Otis with Gable can bring out a different side of the former tag team fighter. Both are quite similar in many respects. They both left tag teams and branched out as individual wrestlers and were significantly more popular than their tag partners.

Tune in to SmackDown next week to see where this angle leads; whether Chad Gable is Otis’s manager or his new teammate.
