6 Potential First WWE Feuds For The New NXT Draftees

This one may be a little off the wall but hear me out. Dolph Ziggler is and has been going nowhere and is about as stagnant as one can be while still maintaining relevancy.

He's been able to hold onto a substantial amount of popularity despite the fact that he's little more than a jobber to the stars, and his last few months have consisted of him trading wins - with him being on the losing end more often than not - with Baron Corbin, someone WWE clearly has much bigger plans for.

It's time Ziggler embraces a much-needed change of direction and goes back to playing the heel he was meant to be.

On a similar note, Apollo Crews is a promising young star who has thus far failed to connect with the WWE audience. He's a fantastically innovative worker with an exciting style, but he has very little character of outside of "smiley, flippy stuff guy" and there's not much reason for the fans to get behind him.

Crews should adopt a new arrogant attitude, showing a side of himself we've yet to see since he joined NXT, and tout his ability as a superior athlete. A partnership with a newly-turned Ziggler, a character that has always been a better heel than face anyway, could go a long way in giving new life to two workers who desperately need it.

American Alpha might be the most exciting tag team to show up in WWE in quite a long time. While they don't have the mic skills and natural charisma of Enzo and Cass or the larger-than-life personas and unreal chemistry of The New Day, Jason Jordan and Chad Gable are two of the most accomplished elite athletes in the entire industry. They've spent the entirety of their time together continuing to improve and they've grown into arguably the best in-ring tag team in the world.

There's an assortment of jobber teams on the SmackDown roster that WWE could throw at the new draftees: The Vaudevillains (please, no), The Ascension (yuck), or Breezango, while the only other actual credible team is The Usos. With both duos being faces - although The Usos are suffering from becoming stale - that program is going to have to sit on the back-burner for a while.

Besides, unless something drastically changes there's nowhere for American Alpha to go after that particular feud.

Jrdan and Gable vs. Ziggler and Crews reinvents one struggling performer, gives a talented foundering character a chance to find himself and become immediately relevant, and allows the hot young prospects to show off all they're truly capable of. And when it comes to American Alpha, they're capable of a whole hell of a lot.
