10 Things You Miss About NXT Wrestlers On WWE's Main Roster

7. Jason Jordan's Chemistry With Chad Gable

It's too early to say he's doomed, but things aren't looking good for Jason Jordan on Raw. His unveiling as Kurt Angle's son went over extremely poorly, and fans have totally rejected him as a solo act. WWE have now saddled him with The Hardy Boyz to try to transfer some of their popularity onto the former American Alpha man, but the push is failing, and Jordan already needs a change.

It's a shame, because Jason is a tremendous wrestler, but it's nothing new for him. The only time his career has ever had a sense of purpose was when he was teaming with Chad Gable, and in ripping Alpha apart, WWE have screwed him.

The duo came together in May 2015. Jordan, realising he was going nowhere, was on the hunt for a new tag partner. He was initially put off by Gable's goofy enthusiasm, but reluctantly consented to teaming with him, and gradually grew fond of the former Olympian. Their "coming together" story culminated when they became NXT Tag Champions at TakeOver: Dallas, resulting in a big emotional outpouring, not only from Jordan & Gable, but everyone who'd taken that journey with them.

The duo's onscreen chemistry was incredible from day one, but they rarely had a chance to showcase it while working together on the main roster, and their split means we'll never see it again.
