#2 WWE Superstar - Chad Gable

Chad Gable is currently competing on WWE RAW as part of a tag team called Alpha Academy.

He debuted in WWE under the same ring name in 2015 and would continue until mid-2019. During this time, Gable won the RAW Tag Team Championship with partner Robert Roode as they defeated AOP (Authors of Pain) in December 2018.

Gable saw a gimmick change in June 2019 when he became Shorty G, a fan favorite. In this new avatar, Gable soared to greater heights by reaching the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament 2019 but lost to Baron Corbin.

In October 2020, he reverted to his original in-ring name Chad Gable, turning heel again as the newly formed Alpha Academy leader, recruiting Otis as his partner.

#1 WWE Superstar - Happy Corbin

Happy Corbin, currently a SmackDown superstar, debuted in WWE as Baron Corbin. His rise to the main roster from NXT happened at WrestleMania 32, where he won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

Corbin continued with this ring name for a few years in WWE until he won the King of the Ring tournament in 2019 and became King Corbin.

He would subsequently lose to Shinsuke Nakamura in a 'Battle for the Crown' match to give up his King title. The loss would see him return to his earlier name Baron Corbin, portraying a man who had lost his wealth.

His latest gimmick and name change happened in August this year. He is now Happy Corbin, a man who had turned his misfortunes around in Las Vegas. Corbin hosts Happy Talk with his partner Madcap Moss on SmackDown. He is also the number one contender for Nakamura's Intercontinental title after beating the latter in a #1 contender match on the Blue Brand.
