Touché.

I’m just not going to automatically assume the worst
Oh for sure, who knows what happens, could be great things, could be horrible things, could be somewhere in the middle.

Alpha were 2-time Tag Champs under Vince.

Pretty sure they would’ve been tearing it up with New Day, Usos and the Bar had Jordan not got hurt.

But it’s a hell of a hypothetical
I feel like Vince got really bored of tag teams and like fired 3 quarter of those NXT guys before and during the pandemic so that's where I think they might have dipped. But it's a crazy hypothetical like you said. Jordan was the charismatic one and if he doesn't go down does his partner ever shine? Do they every do much beyond comedy stuff or hell do they even stay together since Vince did seem keen on Jordan in a similar way he was with Austin Theory. Old asshole could change his mind mid show so really who knows. It's funny how many tag teams and 205 guys they stuck in stories with Rollins back then too

I thought American alpha ended when the Kurt Angle son storyline started cause Jordan was moved to Raw and teaming with Seth anyway at the end
The nepotism angle where Jordan could’ve won the IC title

and then Angle retired...against Baron Corbin...
That was a year later.

It was 2018 iirc where they did the Angle is Jordan’s dad storyline.

Then Jordan got hurt. They had to shoe horn Seth into the Elimination Chamber(only Chamber to have 7 individual wrestlers) then he got involved with Finn and Miz for the IC belt
