WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions (1x)

Being brought up from NXT straight into SmackDown LIVE, American Alpha were immediately presented as the future of WWE's tag-team division.

They were even protected in the original tournament to crown the first tag champs, being "injured" by The Usos after beating them in the semi-finals.

Gable and Jordan would win the belts on the final SmackDown LIVE of 2016, winning The New Wyatt Family's straps in a four way elimination tag match by pinning the legendary Randy Orton, no less.

WWE must've lost some interest in them though, as they went on to very briefly feud with The Ascension (really) heading into a Tag Team Turmoil at Elimination Chamber, before dropping the titles to The Usos before WrestleMania 33, where they'd appear in the prestigious Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

One can only wonder what could've been.
