Last week, American Alpha won the Smackdown Tag Team Championships from The Wyatt Family in a great four-way match also involving Rhyno and Heath Slater and The Usos. This week, it was promised that the new champions would be in action.

They were... kind of. Taking on the team of Breezango, Chad Gable and Jason Jordan quickly routed their opponents, scoring the win with the Grand Amplitude in under a minute. It's no secret that American Alpha isn't over the way they were in NXT, and minute-long squashes aren't going to change that. Great matches and showing their personalities to the audience will.

After the bout, The Wyatt Family showed up on screen, with Bray telling the champs that next week, they would be coming back to reclaim the belts.
