IMO it is WAY too early to even think about an American Alpha break up. Jordan has finally found His niche and I honestly like the direction His character development has proceeded to at this point. He is almost unrecognizable from the Jacked up, All-American, boring little pretty boy enhancement talent He was just nine very short months ago. His advancement may be considered a little slow amongst most circles because He has been signed for about four years now but IMO He has had very few opportunities to truly shine and was not already a King of the Independent Scene, He was a fresh out of college Amateur Wrestler with alot of potential.
He actually was able to have some success believe it or not in FCW as CJ Parker's partner, in fact They not only won The Tag Titles but were the last FCW Tag Team Champions. Once FCW turn into NXT that partnership completely dissolved and in His defense He was sporadically used from 2011 to 2013 and faded to obscurity as a Full-Time Jobber.
When He finally did get another small opportunity I thought He did a good job with the spotlight given as He formed a semi successful tag team with the perpetual developmental talent/OVW Mega Star and a former FCW Tag Team Champion (with believe it or not Dolph Ziggler) "The Canadian Sensation" Shawn Spears... I mean ECW "New Superstar Initiative" failed experiment Gavin Spears... I mean "Mr Re-packaged" Himself the now "Perfect 10" Tye Dillinger. I thought They were a promising Tag Team Myself but was never given the ball when They failed to advance in some random Tag Tournament They seemingly fell apart at the seems with Jordan playing the heel role in the break up. I thought He was finally going to push as a singles Star but little did I know Chad Gable had arrived. Loved how They slowly put these two together and made Jordan massively reluctant to take the highly enigmatic, care-free , overly confident Gable. IMO They take each other to the next level They complement one another like all of the great Tag Teams do. IMO They are the very best Tag Team in the untire WWE and have a very bright and (hopefully) lengthy future as NXT and WWE Tag Team Partners, Competitors and Champions.
With that being said I see a huge upside to both members of American Alpha, like most of You I think Gable has the slightest edge. He is naturally a very charismatically gifted individual and has a unmatched technical prowess in the ring that makes Him stand out in a very talent rich NXT but IMO there is something special about Jordan ever since I first saw Him I just can't help but to feel He will be a Huge Star on The Main Roster. The last time I got the feeling was the first time I saw a little forgotten OVW Tag Team by the name of The Minnesota Stretching Crew namely Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin, one reached the promise land and the other found a great amount of success albeit but ultimately fell short. I know deep down somewhere in My wrestling soul that Jordan and Gable will either replicate Their success or exceed it.
I think Jordan is bigger, stronger, and as stated above has an overall intensity, hunger and fire that Gable is simply lacking, I believe one day this will propel Him past His obviously very talented counterpart. Gable has a RVD, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles Cool Hipster almost comedic albeit entertaining persona, IMO it's really hard for someone to get to the Main Event picture with this type of gimmick and I don't really see Him as a Mega aggressive type but I guess He could surprise Me. Although Jordan has all the upside in the world He still has a long road of character development ahead of Him I believe three or four more years with Gable and the up's and downs of feuding with the best talent in the world on The Main Roster atop The Tag Division will develop Him to the point He needs to be established.
About His Moveset... Tag Team Wrestling doesn't really give You the chance to showcase Your entire repertoire, with that being said over the course of His developmental Career I have seen Him display a multitude of maneuvers including His Finishers of choice (When He was able to pickup the occasional win) The Angle/Jordan Slam, The Texas Cloverleaf Submission Hold and last The Who's Your Daddy? Double Underhook DDT. I think He needs to develop a new unique to Him high impact Finisher but again that comes with time. People most remember Jordan is not from the Independent Scene He is an WWE product through and through for better or worse it will take time for Him to adapt and grow to the apex of His ever evolving Character and in ring Wrestling ability.
