In case you didn’t know…
In July 2015, Gable and Jordan teamed up after the former coaxed the latter for nearly two months. However, it wasn’t until the January 2016 tapings of NXT that the two were officially named American Alpha.
They enjoyed a successful run as a tag team and went on to capture SmackDown Tag Team Championships. On July 17, 2017, Kurt Angle announced that Jason Jordan was his long lost son and essentially confirmed that the 28-year-old was a member of the Raw roster.
The heart of the matter
The report suggests that Jordan is set for a midcard level push, and it appears that his relationship with Angle will only grow as the Raw General Manager tries to be a father figure for Jordan.
However, the future of the American Alpha is up in the air. As of now, there aren’t any immediate plans to bring Chad Gable over to the Raw brand from SmackDown. The wrestler all but confirmed the news already when he posted this on Instagram:
What’s next?
It looks like Chad Gable will now have to find a new tag team partner. As for the Jordan-Angle storyline, it will be interesting to see how the WWE develops the story in the coming weeks. Jordan, for his part, looks set for the big singles push on Raw.
Author’s take
That the American Alpha is a thing of the past is disheartening. Together, Jordan and Gable had been so successful. They had definitely spiced up the competition in the Tag Team division of the SmackDown brand alongside the Usos, Hype Bros and New Day.
It’s a real shame that WWE’s recent storytelling, with the brand split to blame in this case, has fallen back into old habits of decimating the tag team division.
