American Alpha are the SmackDown Live Tag Team Champions, just in case you forgot. Blazing hot coming out of NXT, Jordan and Gable were drafted to SmackDown raising a lot of fans' hopes about the blue brand and the quality of their tag team wrestling. In a strange twist of events they took backseat to Heath Slater and Rhyno, followed by Wyatt and Orton, but eventually they claimed the top spot in a division which we all expected them to run.

Therein lies the problem however. With all the hype surrounding the two NXT graduates, no one really expected SmackDown's tag division to offer them any real competition. This was blatantly highlighted by the fact that two months out from WrestleMania, not one team has separated themselves to prove a worthy adversary, resulting in a gauntlet match to be held at Elimination Chamber.

Some are holding out hope for a rekindling of the Alpha/Revival feud that raised the NXT tag division, but aside from that the young champions will likely hold down a multi-man preshow spot that could look an awful lot like their upcoming Elimination Chamber match.
