All is certainly not right with the Alpha Academy, as Chad Gable continues to berate his students. The leader of the faction scolded Akira Tozawa for not being present at the King and Queen of the Ring PLE. After enduring harsh words from his coach, Tozawa sent him a message on social media. 

Akira Tozawa took to X and apologized to his coach, Chad Gable, for not being present in Saudi Arabia to help him. There was no trace of the Japanese wrestler, as the leader of The Alpha Academy came out with Otis and Maxinne Dupri. The former Tag Team Champion rudely ordered the latter to go back to the locker room and carried on to the ring with his prized pupil.

Gable competed in a triple threat match against Bronson Reed and Sami Zayn at the King and Queen of the Ring PLE. During the match, he constantly reminded Otis to stick to the plan and attack his opponents throughout. However, the heavyweight’s hesitation to attack the I.C. Champion cost his leader the opportunity to win the title.

Fans are clamoring for Tozawa, Otis, and Maxxine to finally step out of Gable’s shadow and stand up to him. However, based on the latest episode of Raw, it appears that Gable has a strong grip on his students’ minds for the time being.

Is WWE trying to split up the Alpha Academy?

Since Chad Gable lost the Intercontinental title match against Sami Zayn after WrestleMania XL, he has activated his evil side. He frequently insults his students, even going so far as to call them useless. Therefore, given the group’s current situation, it wouldn’t be surprising if WWE decided to break them up.

On the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, Otis failed to win his match against Bronson Reed. Unsurprisingly, the 38-year-old was furious and even attempted to strike him with the belt. Although the I.C. Champion did come out and encourage the former Heavy Machinery member, Gable immediately shut him down with a sneak attack. 

Even though fans were chanting their names, neither Tozawa nor Otis dared to stop their coach from assaulting Sami Zayn. It wouldn’t be surprising if all The Alpha Academy members eventually turned on him, leading to the faction’s implosion. In addition to that, Gable might look to find some new students in the form of The Creed Brothers.
