#6 Dolph Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin & Drew Gulak vs. Jack Swagger & American Alpha
There were rumours shortly after Shelton Benjamin got injured that WWE was considering putting together a “shooter” stable together featuring former amateur wrestlers Dolph Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin, and Jack Swagger.
I think Drew Gulak would fit better as the third member of that team, and likely will fare better there than in the Cruiserweight Division. The idea was that they would be a heel group, but I think that’s unnecessary, especially if Dolph Ziggler is going to be at the helm.
He’s such a great babyface and now that he has been granted a new life, he shouldn’t leave that role for a while. Swagger, Chad Gable, and Jason Jordan don’t have to be heels, in fact, they can be friends and can even sometimes partner with the other men.
Alternatively, they could be the new version of the SmackDown Six.
Of course, that phrase has been thrown around a million times and is yet to happen, but it’s a thought. Add the Usos and you have an insanely solid base with 8 men (I would put Gulack & Swagger together) who could wrestle in singles, tag and other types of matches for months on end.
The Usos could earn a SmackDown Tag Team Championship match for the event, which would explain their exclusion from this match.
Gulak and Swagger would agree to split up for this match as well, because it’s part of a friendly rivalry, and because Gulak is an actual member of the “Shooter’s Club” (or whatever they would call the group) while Swagger is only associated with them because of Gulak’s membership.
