The Alpha Academy (Otis and Chad Gable) has been a tag team since 2020. This past week, on the 10th January 2022 episode of RAW, they defeated RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle) for the tag team titles. The victory came after Randy Orton missed an RKO on Chad Gable and Otis hit ‘The Viper’ with a Body Slam.

Following the win, Gable tweeted a picture and revealed that the bond between him and Otis had started long before they joined the WWE.

He opened the post, saying, “There’s winning championships, and then there’s achieving dreams alongside your best friend… The Alpha Academy relationship is much more than a tag team. It’s been a brotherhood for 10+ years.”

They have known each other since 2011, when both were training for the Olympics in Colorado Springs. The current tag team champion, Gable, was also an amateur wrestler who competed in the 2012 Summer Olympics held in London. Simultaneously, Otis also trained in amateur wrestling.

Gable proudly said about Otis, “My protege. My prized pupil. My #1 guy. But most importantly, my friend. We did it. #AlphaAcademy”.

After having achieved success, it will get tough for Alpha Academy as challengers will try to knock them off their perch.
