Chad Gable and Bobby Roode are extremely talented and experienced when it comes to professional wrestling. This week on RAW, we saw that they teamed up and made an alliance against The Ascension. They both complement each other and they can commence a tag-team, and it could have several advantages. Both Gable and Roode are notable in this field. Gable is an Olympian while Roode has achieved several accolades in TNA and NXT.

As the RAW tag team roster is in a bad place, it needs new entrants. Roode and Gable's tag team may sound absurd, but that is best for them and the business right now. Here are a few reasons why Chad Gable and Bobby Roode will not only benefit themselves but also the flagship's tag team division in many ways.

#3 They are not receiving any push

They have lost their relevance on the main roster

Chad Gable and Bobby Roode are very talented superstars individually. But there are two things common between them. One: they are both graduated from the developmental circuit, NXT. Two: They have been successful in NXT but, they haven't been utilised properly on the main roster.

Gable was first drafted in the Smackdown Live roster, and he was utilised properly there because he was in a tag team called the American Alpha alongside, Jason Jordan. The tag team was separated because Jordan was drafted to RAW. Since then, he had been underutilised, and he has been treated as a mere jobber.

On the other hand, the Universe has seen the rise and fall of Bobby Roode. Initially, he was drafted to the SD Live roster where he won the US Title, and he was involved in a feud with the Randy Orton. Soon, after he dropped the title he was drafted to the RAW roster, and since then he's been lost in obscurity.

Both of them are not utilised properly at RAW. So, they can team up together for their good and also, for the good of their brand's tag team division.

#2 RAW has a bad tag-team roster

The three-hour long A brand of WWE doesn't always execute an A grade show. The spectators get tired of the redundancy and the length of the show. Majorly, it is because of the very evident imbalance, and also because their tag-team division is in shambles.

They have taken their tag- team division for granted. The red brand has many good teams, but they haven't promoted or booked them properly. The Tag titles were with the B-Team which is evidently, not the best that they have in their roster.

Currently, the team of McIntyre and Ziggler are holding the championship. McIntyre and 'The Showoff' need to find new opponents for themselves. The Shield is out of options because 'The Big Dog' Roman Reigns and 'The Architect' Seth Rollins hold the RAW Universal Championship, and the Intercontinental Championship respectively. That leaves Dean Ambrose, and he alone can't compete for the Tag Gold.

This new partnership has shown the potential of being a good tag-team, and they can win the gold, to at least bring a change in the tag team division. They can challenge the current champions, and they can start a good feud together.

#1 They've had prior experience

'The Olympian' and 'The Glorious one' have prior experience when it comes to tag teams, and also, winning the tag team gold.

Gable has been in the famous tag-team called the American Alpha alongside Jason Jordan. They were very famous in the NXT brand, and they won the Tag Team Championship once, and were a very prominent tag team there. In 2016, they got drafted to the SD Live roster, and they won the Smackdown Tag Team Championship.

Roode has also got his prominence in this field in TNA alongside Austin Aries and James Storm. He has won it six times altogether, five times alongside Storm and one time with Aries. He has also won the NWA Tag Team Championship twice alongside Eric Young.

If they combine both their tag team experience, and they fight for the championship, they can give a tough competition to the current champions.
