Is this the end for The Boss 'n' Hug Connection?

#2 Bobby Roode and Chad Gable

Hopefully, this leads to a push for Roode.

Amidst all these tag teams breaking up during the Superstar Shakeup, the split between Bobby Roode and Chad Gable isn't something that the fans would get emotional over.

Roode was one of the most promising NXT prospects till date and was reduced to being a mid-card regular on both SmackDown Live as well as Monday Night Raw. His throwaway tag team with Gable didn't do him any favors and WWE completely failed on capitalizing on Roode's "Glorious" gimmick.

Gable is another Superstar who has all the ingredients to move ahead on his own. Now that we have got Chad Gable on SmackDown and Bobby Roode on Raw, maybe WWE will wake up from its slumber and give a much-needed push to Roode for once. The former TNA Superstar oozes charisma and can hold his own inside the squared circle. This is one breakup that was a long time coming.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
