Tag team specialist, submission magician & more - 4 WWE stars who can join Chad Gable's new American Made faction
Chad Gable's WWE partnership with the Creed Brothers was given an official name on the latest episode of RAW. As he came out for his trios match with the Wyatt Sicks, he referred to the group as "American Made."
Due to his treatment of Otis, Maxxine Dupri, and Akira Tozawa, he abandoned Alpha Academy and said they could keep the name. With the two groups on different paths, new faces could eventually join either group.
Xavier Woods is still friendly with Otis and The Academy, but who would fit well in American Made if Gable tries to bolster his ranks?
Tavion Heights would make sense, but he joined the No Quarter Catch Crew. Many NXT stars could one day join Master Gable, but the next four WWE stars could join him sooner than others.
#4. Shayna Baszler has years of main-roster credibility
Shayna Baszler has been on the main roster for nearly five years but hasn't won a singles title. Let that sink in. The Queen of Spades is always presented as one of the most dangerous women in WWE.
Despite that booking, she is routinely used in the tag team division. Coming from an MMA background lends Baszler to a strong mat game. She may be involved with Sonya Deville at the moment, but that grouping may not last long.
Amateur wrestling is obviously the base for American Made, so Baszler could still fit in with her submission game. The group will need a female member if it hopes to battle The Wyatt Sicks or Alpha Academy.
#3. Tyra Mae Steele signed with WWE last year
Like Tavion Heights or Myles Borne, Tyra Mae Steele has legitimate amateur credentials but is a novice in the industry. That still didn't stop bookers from pushing Kurt Angle right out of the gate.
She's yet to appear on NXT TV but has been featured on NXT Level Up. A quick promotion could give American Made another Olympian like Gable or Angle and a member that could fight Dupri or Nikki Cross.
Steele even wrestles in red, white, and blue attire. If Kendal Grey joins No Quarter Catch Crew, Steele could see a quick promotion to RAW with American Made.
#2. Angelo Dawkins needs a change
Despite still getting a warm response from the WWE Universe, the Street Profits have been in limbo for the last two years. They've unsuccessfully challenged for tag team gold many times.
A pairing with Bobby Lashley could have set them on a different path as heels, but that heel turn was quickly abandoned. After a big win over the Final Testament at WrestleMania 40, The All Mighty disappeared from programming.
The Profits went back to tag team action with B-Fab at their side. A break up could have given both Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford different directions. Ford has the charisma and in-ring skill to make it on his own.
Dawkins has an amateur wrestling background and was a part of a 'shooter' stable when he and Gable were starting in NXT. Why not bring him back to his NXT roots by joining Master Gable?
#1. Ivy Nile has been linked with the Creeds since NXT's Diamond Mine
Maxxine Dupri needs to look for better friends. After confronting Ivy Nile backstage about how the Creeds attacked Alpha Academy, her response was less than acceptable.
Nile claimed that Brutus and Julius get hyped up from time to time. That isn't a good explanation for why they joined Gable in beating up Alpha Academy. Nile's connection to the Creeds makes it to easy for her join the group.
She's been with them since NXT and is billed as a Pitbull. Despite the nickname, Nile doesn't have the ground skills of someone like Asuka, Becky Lynch, or Baszler.
Even with that fact, she'll likely join the group due to her alliance with the Creeds. Gable even told her she didn't need Dupri and Nile just walked off with the bully Gable.
