American Alpha are the hottest new act in tag team wrestling today, and they managed to recently capture the SmackDown Tag Team Championships from the Wyatt Family. But how did their rematch against the former champs go?
It was a very solid match that saw Jason Jordan and Chad Gable square off against Randy Orton and the Wyatt patriarch himself, with Luke Harper providing the requisite ringside shenanigans.
The end result was the same as the first–some untimely interference from Luke Harper led to Randy Orton getting pinned for Alpha to win the match. They are still your tag team champions.
After the match, tensions continued to flare between Orton and Harper, and it looked like tonight would actually be the night that the Wyatt family imploded–especially when a wild superkick from Harper landed squarely on the jaw of Bray. The Eater of Worlds was able to restore order, though–for now.
There’s SmackDown for you, folks, giving a satisfying resolution to the Wyatts versus Alpha feud while giving the new champs forward momentum and building the ongoing Wyatt story. That’s good TV.
