10 superstars who deserve to be WWE Universal Champion more than Brock Lesnar

#7. Chad Gable

Chad Gable is one of those rarities; An amateur wrestler who actually made a great transition to the professional ranks without virtue of a gold medal. He and partner Jason Jordan were probably the most over tag team in NXT history as American Alpha.

Openly emulating the Steiners, the Road Warriors, and other classic tag teams, American Alpha were a huge hit on NXT but wound up floundering on the main roster. Possibly, the lack of real emphasis on the tag team division may have hindered them, but we're betting WWE wanted to gamble on Jordan being the bigger star.

With Jordan's injury making a return uncertain, the time has come to give Gable his due. Much like Ricky Steamboat or his idol Ric Steiner, Gable's quicker, more athletic style of wrestling makes for exciting matches that often overshadow the main event picture. If he's going to outshine men like Lesnar anyway, why not make it official?
