It was the best of times.

The 2016 feud between American Alpha and The Revival was a huge turning point for tag team wrestling as presented by Vince McMahon. Their white hot TakeOver: Dallas opener was a celebration of everything the dynamic duos had worked towards over the prior months, with their two-out-of-three rematch almost as good. Both tandems were called up within 12 months of the rivalry, and both were sunk in less time than that.

It's not even that McMahon didn't fall for the division all over again either. 2017 gave the world two of the best tag team rivalries in years in The Usos Vs The New Day and The Bar Vs Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, ran them simultaneously then switched them up for a Survivor Series special edition.

By this point, Chad Gable and Jason Jordan were nowhere to be found. The pair were split to facilitate the laughable Kurt Angle illegitimate son storyline before Jordan got shelved at the start of 2018. Creative crumbs were dropped here and there to imply that all may not have been what it seemed with Father and Son, but Gable's drafting to Raw earlier this year could and should allow the company to park that entirely when Jordan finally returns.
