RIP American Alpha. We hardly got to see what ye could do in WWE.

Seriously, what the hell is with WWE breaking up tag teams? In the last three months, we’ve seen the following tag teams disband for various reasons: Vaudevillains (Simon Gotch released), Golden Truth (Goldust turned on R-Truth), Enzo Amore & Big Cass (Cass turned on Enzo), and now most likely American Alpha (Jason Jordan joined Raw).

That’s just insane when you consider that WWE had two tag team championships and six tag teams per program. You could easily lodge a complaint about the lack of depth in the tag division, so WWE breaks up two teams in the past month.

Regardless of the “big plans” they might have for Cass or Jordan, this is foolish if they don’t bolster the tag ranks and replace the tandems they broke up.
