2. Chad Gable Talks About Which Teams American Alpha Would Like To Face on the Main Roster, Says They’re Going To Be The Ones To Blow Up The Tag Team Division
During a recent interview with Men’s Journal, Chad Gable (one half of the American Alpha) talked about his WWE main roster debut along with his tag team partner Jason Jordan, the current tag team division in WWE & more. Below are the highlights:
American Alpha are pretty popular, despite being relatively new to the larger audience on SmackDown Live. Can you describe why you think that is?
“It’s kind of funny, we were really nervous about that, being exposed to this new audience. You hope you don’t come out through the curtain and hope you don’t hear crickets. We were standing back there and we heard the response and we were just so happy. The other thing is, when we got drafted, Daniel Bryan built us up and kind of made us sound like a big deal which was really helpful. The response that night was so positive — it made us feel comfortable as opposed to the nervousness that was there before. I would like to think that more and more people are watching NXT and people have the WWE Network so there’s more exposure there.”
Any bucket list opponents you guys have? WrestleMania dream matches?
“As far as the roster goes, there are so many teams —Gallows & Anderson, the Usos — there are just endless teams we want to wrestle. With the current landscape, I think the tag team division is going to blow up…We want to make tag team wrestling the thing to watch again and we are going be the ones to do it. Nobody else. We hope that lights a fire under some guys, and if it ruffles a few feathers, we’re okay with that.
We want to raise the level of competition. If everyone starts to be competitive with each other and wants to one-up each other every single night, sparks are going to fly and it’s going to be magic before you know it.”
