#5. Hope isn't true: Shorty-G and Shelty-B

Chad Gable is perhaps the most underrated superstar in WWE purely looking at his capabilities and future potential. While many fans would hope that King of The Ring could be Gable's breakout tournament, it unfortunately doesn't seem to be looking that way at all.

PWInsider first reported that WWE filed a trademark for "Shorty-G" - a name that they're potentially planning to give to Chad Gable. On SmackDown, he was the victim of a little childish prank by Shelton Benjamin, who made a height joke at him.

According to Wrestlingnews.co, not only is WWE planning the "Shorty-G" name for Chad Gable, but they might even be planning a new name for Shelton Benjamin - Shelty-B.

This would also reportedly involve them together again, making them reunite their tag team. That really begs the question as to why they were split up in the first place. Gable's move to RAW was seen as a promising one last year, but they did absolutely nothing with him and the same seems to continue now.

Hopefully, this rumour isn't true and WWE decides to finally push Chad Gable with the same name.
