The Alpha Academy angle is working out great. Lots of heat for those segments. It's going to be a hit when Otis finally turns on Gable and turns face. I think Otis reluctantly helps Gable (finally) take the IC Title off Zayn. Then Gable goes on a streak of wins via cheating or other nefarious acts. Then eventually it reaches a boiling point where Otis cannot take Gable's cheating and wins the belt off him.
I love how WWE is being patient with their feuds these days, and isn't in a rush to push the panic button and miss on an opportunity. At one point it was obvious Gable was going to align with the Creed Brothers, yet with how the crowd has been reacting that plan may have changed. The crowd loves Otis! Realistically he's been a favourite for years. He was just poorly booked, especially after winning MitB.
