25 Most Important Wrestlers In NXT History
18. American Alpha
Maybe we're cheating by including both Jason Jordan and Chad Gable as one entry here, but this is our list, so be quiet.
There was a period of time when the best thing about NXT was its tag team wrestling. At the forefront of this movement were teams like American Alpha, the beloved rag-tag duo of peppy newcomer, Gable, and NXT veteran, Jordan.
The two originally did not get on outside of the ring, but continuously gelled as a team. They eventually grew to like one another, taking the audience with them on that journey and winning legions of fans in the process.
The pair's athleticism and ability inside the ring was mesmerising and they quickly rose up the ranks in NXT Tag Team division, eventually capturing the titles at TakeOver: Dallas. The visual of Jason Jordan in tears after winning the belts has stayed with every single fan who watched that show and American Alpha cemented themselves that night as one of the best babyface tag teams in WWE history .
For their services to the tag team division and the sheer popularity that Jordan and Gable gained in such a short time together, American Alpha have to be ranked amongst the top NXT teams of all time.
