WWE SmackDown- 5 Surprises that could happen before TLC- New alliance against Roman Reigns & Jey Uso, Corey Graves humiliated?

#3 Major heel turn on WWE SmackDown between an existing team

Due to recent events on Smackdown, we’ve been forced to pivot and introduce some new training methods at the academy for @otis_wwe...Alpha status is within his reach.#AlphaAcademy pic.twitter.com/qprevs9j9I

It really does not make sense for Otis to exit one of the hottest teams on WWE SmackDown in Heavy Machinery and enter another one, which is not nearly as hot, which doesn't have an established gimmick.

Training continues at the Alpha Academy. ⁣⁣@otiswwe costing us that match last Friday was a great lesson in Alpha philosophy for him, and he understands that. Even still, we have a LOT of work to do...⁣⁣#AlphaAcademy pic.twitter.com/S7YM4XjftZ

Is the whole Alpha Academy a way for Chad Gable to turn heel and then take on Otis, considering that both men have amateur wrestling backgrounds?

Why else would Otis and Tucker be separated, with Tucker doing absolutely nothing on the WWE RAW brand, with Otis entering another WWE SmackDown tag team, in a division where the Champions are babyfaces? It would prove that no thought went into the draft.

However, if Chad Gable does go heel, he can pretty much bring out the 'serious' side of Otis and be in his first high-profile storyline since the King of the Ring tournament.

Do you think that WWE SmackDown should go down this route or do you want to see more matches with the Alpha Academy teaming up?
