5 Underrated WWE Superstars who would've been top stars in the Ruthless Aggression Era

#3 Chad Gable/Shorty G

Chad Gable aka Shorty G is arguably one of the finest wrestlers in WWE today and certainly has all the charisma in the world. However, during his tenure in WWE so far, Gable has struggled on the main roster, especially since the split-up of The American Alpha and hasn't had proper exposure.

Gable is quite athletic and is also technically sound in the ring, which makes him a perfect candidate for a Superstar who would've been at the top of his game during the Ruthless Aggression Era.

If used right, Gable could've been a top star in WWE today, even as a singles competitor, however, that hasn't been the case and by the looks of it, WWE isn't too keen on pushing the former SmackDown Tag Team Champion anytime soon.

Nevertheless, Gable as part of the Ruthless Aggression Era would've been in contention for numerous shots at WWE's mid-card titles and given everything had worked out accordingly for him, the multi-time WWE Tag Team Champion probably would've ended up in a similar spot as Kurt Angle did back in the day.
