Man, so glad that WWE saw fit to break up Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin as a promising tag team to bring Gable over to Raw… so he could job to Jinder Mahal.

Seriously, what the hell WWE?

Gable, an immensely talented and charismatic wrestler (ask anyone who watches NXT), was cannon fodder for the acne-riddled slug that is Mahal, who was coming off a snorefest of a match against Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank.

Look, if you figured that Jinder needed a win because – for better or worse – he’s a name heel, then serve up Titus O’Neil, Viktor, Mike Kanellis, Fandango, or some local enhancement talent. No one would have blinked at any of them losing, and while Gable has basically been a jobber since coming to Raw, he has the most potential of any of those mentioned.

At least Shelton is doing better… oh wait.
