American Alpha Discusses Being Called Up To The Main Roster & More

American Alpha joined Jonathan Coachman on ESPN Sportscenter tonight to talk about being drafted to WWE Smackdown Live,

Jordan says he’d like to say he knew they’d get called up, but it was still surreal to hear their names called, and it was big because he’d been in NXT for five years at that point. Gable talks about the differences between NXT and Smackdown, saying you need to know where to fit in, and Jordan talks about getting into a routine for the gym and meals, and staying in sync with each other.

Joachman asks about their amateur wrestling history, and Gable says the big difference is the crowd involvement, because it took a long time to let the fans in. Jordan agrees and says as an amateur wrestler you wanted to block that out, but you learn to feed off of it and now they can help but enjoy the responses.Jordan is asked about how the partnership was proposed, and Jordan says he had a few teammates before but they didn’t work, and Gable kept insisting they team up. Jordan says he finally gave in and said he’d give Gable a shot, then they saw that the chemistry was there immediately. Jordan says he knew from the first time they teamed up that they had something, and Gable agrees and says they clicked from the start and they are very fortunate.
