10 Live Observations From NXT TakeOver: Dallas

7. American Alpha Is The Future Of The Tag Team Division... And More?

As hot as the crowd was all night, their sustained enthusiasm seemed to be highest during the American Alpha-Revival Tag Team Championship match. American Alpha are among the most popular wrestlers on the entire brand, and they achieved that feat simply by being amazingly talented.

The Revival were more than game for a great contest, getting a heat segment on both men and keeping things entertaining throughout (in one particular gut-punch of a moment, Gable looked to have a tag cinched up, but Dawson yanked Jordan off the apron at the last possible moment). Finally, American Alpha unleashed a barrage of suplexes, then hit the Grand Amplitude for the win.

There could be no doubt to anybody watching that American Alpha are superstars. They'll be great NXT Tag Team Champions, and when they get called up to the main roster, they'll be great WWE Tag Team Champions. Then someday, when the team has run its course, they'll be among the company's top singles stars.
