A 40-year-old star has revealed his reaction to a major WWE decision. Many times, the Stamford-based promotion comes up with ideas and angles that suit particular wrestlers.

Back in 2020, the creative team decided to pit Chad Gable and Otis together as part of the Alpha Academy. While it may seem a random pairing at first, the truth is it was 10 years in the making.

Both Gable and Otis appeared on KFAN for an interview recently. During the conversation, Gable revealed that the pair had been together for a long time before WWE and had become best friends.

Gable recalled pitching the idea for a team and revealed his surprising reaction when it was approved.

The 40-year-old star said their chemistry was perfect after years knowing each other, and everything clicked for them. The duo won the Raw Tag Team Championship in early 2022, defeating Randy Orton and Matt Riddle for the title.

Chad Gable has put on incredible matches for years in WWE. Both as a tag team and a singles wrestler, he has proven his in-ring ability time and again.

Now, he is enjoying a surge in his popularity following his face turn after the El Grande Americano angle. During the conversation on KFAN, Gable was asked who he believes has been his wrestling soulmate.

The former tag team champion didn't hesitate to pick Gunther. He said right from the first match, they appeared perfect for each other.

The two stars had a series of matches in 2023, with the Ring General winning twice and Gable picking up the win on one occasion.
