American Alpha have not been used much on Smackdown Live since losing their Tag Team Championships to the Usos. Their run as Champions was also a bit underwhelming as they rarely got a chance to showcase their abilities on TV.
According to some new rumors, they could be in-store for a big return angle in the future!
There was a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider prior to Smackdown Live this week that American Alpha was being discussed for a “big angle” to bring them back to WWE television. As we know now this didn’t end up happening and American Alpha were not on the show.
Johnson correctly reported that Zack Ryder would be on the show so we can assume that the plans for American Alpha were scrapped at the last moment or pushed back for the time being.
Even though the plans were scrapped for this week, this could indicate that big plans are coming for the talented tag team in the upcoming weeks.
The thing that a lot of fans want to see is American Alpha paired up with Kurt Angle. Since they are currently on Smackdown and Angle is on RAW, that doesn’t seem like it will be the case.
Maybe it could be a heel turn for the team? They have worked as babyfaces for their run through NXT and on the main roster. Maybe it would give them a bit of an edge?

We will have to wait and see but it sounds like big things could be in store for American Alpha in the next few weeks! Reminder as always to take rumors with a grain of salt!
Let us know what you think in the comment section below.
Their entrance theme is generic and weak but overall I think the only thing missing is actual TV and mic time.
