10 Wild Outside Bets To Become WWE Champion

And if you're going to strap up the Alpha Academy's newest recruit, then why not have the gang's leader and one of the most entertaining and likeable babyfaces on WWE TV today lift a World Championship belt, too?

The reactions Chad Gable was generating earlier this year in the lead-up to and during his eventual war with GUNTHER on Monday Night Raw suggested that WWE have a real top player just waiting to go in the multiple-time tag champ.

Also, with Triple H leading creative, the whole "he's not big enough to be World champ" way of thinking will likely be on its way out of the company as well. 'The Game' often happily backed shorter but undoubtedly impressive wrestlers during his time booking the black and gold brand.

Gable would be the sort of eye-catching, workhorse World Heavyweight Champion that the also quite brilliant Seth Rollins could only dream of being, producing technical and electric classics with opponents of all shapes and sizes.

If ever there was a time for an unlikely underdog hero to shock the world with a career highlight win, it's now.

Gable SHOOOOOSHED his doubters long ago. Pass him the ball, Paul.
