#1 Loser: Chad Gable

Unfortunately, Chad had better be ready, willing, and Gable to wrestle on the lower end of the card on Smackdown Live.

If your name is Chad Gable, you just can't seem to catch a break on the main WWE roster.

Back in his NXT days, Chad Gable was one half of possibly the most popular tag team to go through the developmental yellow brand; American Alpha. In American Alpha, Chad Gable's lack of impressive size, and--let's face it--aesthetically deficient facial features were compensated for by the handsome and larger Jason Jordan.

When American Alpha made it to the main roster, fans rejoiced. Unfortunately, that joy was short lived as Jason Jordan suffered what seems to be a career ending injury. Now bereft of a partner, Chad Gable drifted for a bit before being paired with Bobby Roode. Again, his partner's flashier looks and style made up for Gable's relative milquetoast character.

But now that Gable has been moved to Smackdown Live, he's leaving his partner behind. On a stacked roster like Smackdown live, Gable might struggle to stand out among the crowd.
