Gable is in danger of being lost in RAW among the stars

Amidst some amazing choices for brand change during the Superstar shakeup, the WWE also made a few questionable decisions which might negatively impact some of the Superstars involved.

Before even taking off from the ground considerably as a tag team, WWE broke up Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin.

While Benjamin is a veteran who has shown that he has the capability to hold his own as a singles competitor, the equally talented albeit inexperience Gable is in danger of being lost in the land of behemoths.

With "Rusev Day" chants becoming louder and louder by the week, the company would have done well to give the Bulgarian Brute a fresh start by moving him to the red brand, but sadly, Rusev stays put on SmackDown Live.

Finn Balor is being pushed by the WWE as a top star, which he most certainly is, but the push has mostly been directionless.

A move to the blue brand might have been the shot in the arm that the Demon King needed, to get to the top and stay there.
