Chad Gable couldn't be happier to capture the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship with Otis.
Chad Gable is one of a handful of WWE superstars to have ever held the WWE Raw, SmackDown, and NXT Tag Team Championships. Gable has captured gold with three different partners and has been paired with more than those three throughout his WWE career.
Most recently, he and Otis, Alpha Academy, defeated Randy Orton and Matt Riddle to capture the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship.
Now, reflecting on this win and his friendship with Otis, Chad Gable would say that they have been talking about a moment like the one that they had on Monday, January 10, since they started training for the Olympics together in Colorado Springs back in 2011.
In an Instagram post, Chad Gable expressed just how genuinely happy he was to be able to share this moment with not only his tag team partner but his best friend and neighbor.
There’s winning championships, and then there’s achieving dreams alongside your best friend.
@otis_wwe and I have been talking about a night like last night since we were training for the Olympics together in Colorado Springs in 2011.
The Alpha Academy relationship is much more than a tag team. It’s been a brotherhood for 10+ years.
After getting called up to RAW, I jokingly told Otis there was a house for sale up the street for me if he wanted to move in. Within days, he told me he put it an offer and would be there in a few weeks.
Since then, he’s come over nearly every single day for us to leave puddles of sweat in my garage in some of the grittiest training sessions you could ever imagine, all with the goal of continually making progress in this profession and in life. I could not be happier or more proud of this man.
My protege. My prized pupil. My #1 guy. But most importantly, my friend.
We did it.
