Chad Gable started his WWE career in NXT as part of the popular tag team American Alpha with Jason Jordan. After a pretty successful stint in the third brand, they were finally promoted to the main roster. While Jordan hung up his boots for a producer role, Gable continued performing in the ring.
He spent several years floundering the main roster before finally striking gold when he joined forces with Otis to form the Alpha Academy. Since then, they have become popular and have added more members to the group over the years. They have even won the RAW Tag Team Championship.

Despite Alpha Academy at ringside, Noam Dar was still able to retain his Heritage Cup against Tozawa. However, it looks like this feud may be far from over.

Sunil is a pro wrestling journalist, covering AEW and WWE news stories at Sportskeeda. He holds an MBA degree in Marketing, and has nearly 7 years of experience. A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
Always focused on making his work accurate and reliable, Sunil thoroughly checks his facts before writing his articles. When not writing for pro wrestling, he spends his time watching cricket.
