10 Last-Minute WWE TLC 2016 Rumors You Need To Know
5. American Alpha In Action
Ever since American Alpha debuted on Smackdown, fans of the team have been hoping they'd unleash some NXT-style greatness on the main roster. It hasn't happened yet, solely because WWE has chosen to de-emphasize them in favor of Rhyno and Heath Slater.
The past two weeks, though, Jason Jordan and Chad Gable have gotten some more of the spotlight. They were the stars in a tag team turmoil match two weeks ago, eventually defeating The Usos in a great contest to seemingly claim victory. It turned out they'd still need to wrestle Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt for the right to challenge Rhyno and Heath Slater at TLC, and that match happened this past week. American Alpha were defeated, but they put on a great show.
Given that there are only six matches currently announced for TLC, there'll need to be some surprises - either on the main card or on the kickoff. American Alpha's star is rising, so it makes perfect sense to put them on the card against one of Smackdown's many heel teams - maybe even make a rematch with The Usos. It makes sense, and it should happen - let's call it 50/50.
